Across the Auckland network there are still a number of storm related faults mainly affecting isolated pockets of customers. Major restoration work is now complete, meaning substations and feeder lines are operating normally.

Winds are beginning to calm and we have managed to restore power in many areas. However, flooding and fallen trees in several areas are making it tricky to access some outages. We have brought in extra crews from leave, and from other networks..

MetService has issued a severe weather warning for heavy rain and northeasterlies gusting to 120 km/h in exposed places in Auckland on Thursday.

Our power crews did a great job overnight in some tough conditions from Kaipara down to Whitford. The last small outage was repaired just after 5am in Henderson.
