Loss of Supply Around North Island 13/12/11

Loss of Supply Around North Island

13 December 2011

The power system connection to the Huntly power station was lost.

As a result, up to 500 MW of power supply has been shed in the North Island to protect the transmission system.

The cause is unknown at this stage. Crews are working to repair the issue and bring customers back online.

Transpower will provide further updates.
