Vector’s gas network is a regulated business, which means our price changes are governed by the Commerce Commission.

Vector is monitoring meteorological advice that a storm may hit parts of Auckland on Easter Sunday and Monday, with the potential for strong winds to cause power cuts.

To minimise disruption to people and preserve resources and equipment, Vector is temporarily halting all planned works across its electricity and gas networks to ensure these can be appropriately prioritised during the lockdown period. 

Vector can confirm there are no known issues affecting our electricity network in the Eden Terrace area of Auckland where the MediaWorks studios are located.

Vector has recently completed an investigation into the circumstances that led to a brief 48-minute power outage in pockets of Auckland’s central business district (CBD) on January 23, 2020. 

Vector acknowledges that any power outage can be an inconvenience to our customers and we will always work as quickly and as safely as we can to restore services to them.
