Transpower has restored full security of electricity supply into Northland this evening after installing additional temporary structures and returning the second 220 kV circuit to service.

Chief Executive Alison Andrew provides a statement regarding the power outage in Northland.

Transpower has restored further electricity supply into Northland this evening after erecting a temporary tower and transferring one of its two 220 kV transmission lines (circuits) across.

Transpower advises that there may be a momentary loss of power between 2pm and 2.30pm in some areas from Warkworth north today as it re-livens its 220 kV circuit carrying electricity into the area.

Transpower made good progress raising a temporary tower to restore one of its two 220 kV transmission lines (circuits) into Northland today.

Electricity demand is much less on weekends and Transpower expects that the 110kV line and local generation should be able to supply all of Northland over the weekend.

Transpower is calling on those in areas from Warkworth northwards who have power to conserve it until full electricity supply can be restored to the region.

Partial power restoration is on the way for Northland and some people have already been reconnected.

Northland is without power after a Transpower tower fell near Glorit at 11am this morning.

Transpower announces the appointment of John Clarke as Acting Chief Executive from 1 July 2024
