Power outage in Kaikōura

We are currently experiencing a widespread power outage in Kaikōura and the Conway Flat area.

A fault has been identified on the 66kV near Waiau. Teams are on their way to undertake repairs and restore power.

The 33kV line has been patrolled via helicopter. As no faults were found on the 33kV this has been relivened to restore power to most of Kaikōura while our teams continue to work to repair the 66kV fault.

Expected restoration to remaining customers before 7:00pm.

We will update you as soon as we have more information.

If you have any information please contact our NSR team on 0800 30 90 80.

Please treat all power lines as live as power could be restored at any time.
