The OtagoNet Joint Venture was formed in July 2002 following the purchase of electricity network assets from the shareholders of the consumer co-operative company Otago Power Limited.
The electricity network assets include: power poles, power lines, underground power cables, transformers and substations.
Three companies formed a partnership called OtagoNet Joint Venture (which is often shortened to OtagoNet or OJV). The partners are Marlborough Lines Limited (MLL), The Power Company Limited (TPCL) and Electricity Invercargill Limited (EIL).

The OtagoNet area has over 14,700 consumers connected to the electricity network. The area is quite vast from near St Bathans in the North to the Chaslands in the South and inland from the Blue Mountains in the West to Shag Point on the North East coast.
