Power outage explained
The power outage that affected the areas from Black Rock to Kavera during the afternoon of Tuesday 19 August 2008 was unfortunately due to an operational error.
Te Aponga CEO, Apii Timoti, said that the outage occurred at around 3pm and lasted until 4.20pm. “The restoration of power took longer than expected because the cause needed to be established first, and this took a little while”, Timoti explained. “Once the cause was established the restoration took less than 10minutes”, he added.
Te Aponga would like to apologise to all those customers affected by the outage. - Te Aponga Uira Media Release
