    Disappointment for Aucklanders looking forward to an early Christmas present of a healthy Entrust dividend - from the owner of powerco Vector

    Disappointment for Aucklanders looking forward to an early Christmas present of a healthy Entrust dividend - from the owner of powerco Vector


    The dividend's tumbled to $280 for 340,500 Auckland households - down from $375 last year.

    The community trust is the majority owner of electricity and gas lines company Vector

    Tax changes are the main reason for the cut - which will be a blow to Aucklanders facing economic fallout from Covid-19.
