Our Team

The seven trustees of the Aruhiko Power Engineering Excellence Trust represent the various sectors of the power industry. A trustee holds office for a term of three years but is eligible for re-appointment for a further term or terms. At the end of a trustee's term, nominations and/or elections will take place to appoint new or continuing trustees.

​The Aruhiko PEET Trustees meet four times annually and do not receive any remuneration in their capacity as trustees.
