Orion earthquake response
Latest update 4.30pm, Monday 13 June 2011
47,000 homes and businesses in Christchurch are still without power, down from 56,000 at 2.20pm.
Power has been restored to most of Riccarton, Ilam and Fendalton.
Our plan is to restore power to the largest number of people in areas where it is quick and relatively easy to do so. As today’s seismic activity has been centred in the eastern suburbs it is likely that damage in the east will be more severe and repairs will take longer.
Our teams are having difficulty accessing parts of the city to assess damage and carry out repairs, as traffic is gridlocked.
If your power is not yet on, please prepare for a night without power – contact friends and facility for help where necessary.
