The New Zealand Electricity Market's North Island reference point or node for wholesale electricity prices. (Benmore is the South Island node).

The location on the national grid at which the HVDC is connected to the North Island. Prices at the Haywards node, located in the Hutt Valley, give a good indication of prices across the lower half of the North Island. Haywards is one of the three key reference nodes, along with Benmore and Otahuhu.
