WIND WARNING AND OUTAGES - updated 5:00pm

We are experiencing multiple outages across the network. Our crews are working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. However, the weather conditions and access issues are limiting our efforts.

If you are currently without power, please activate your No Power Plan and prepare to be without power overnight.

Unless there are significant developments, we will provide a further update tomorrow (24/10) at 10am, with details on what areas we will be targeting for power restoration.  

TREAT ALL POWER LINES AS LIVE AT ALL TIMES. Our crews will be repairing and restoring when it is safe to do so. Please stay away from any downed lines and report any sighting to us on 0800 30 90 80.

Medically dependent customers should ensure their power retailer has their most current information, have spoken to their medical professional and are prepared to relocate if needed.
