Media release 30 October 2009
North Auckland and
Northland Outage
Just after 8.00am this morning a circuit
on the Otahuhu to Henderson 220 kV line tripped while the
other circuit was out for maintenance, causing loss of
supply for North Auckland and Northland (about 280,000
consumers). We are now bringing one of the circuits back
into service and expect all power to be restored by
9.30am.
