Less than 1000 customers remain without power in Southland & South Otago following the whopping winds which battered the deep south on 23 October.

If you have previously submitted a form on our website BEFORE power was restored to your general area, and your neighbours have power on but you don’t, please fill out another form or call us on 0800 808 587.

There will be additional outages throughout our networks while we identify what needs to happen to reconnect outstanding outages. If your power goes off again and doesn’t come back on after four hours, give us a call on 0800 808 587.

If there is obvious damage to the service line within your boundary, please contact an electrician to look at this for you. It may not resolve your power issues but it will ensure your property is ready to be reconnected when we get there to fix any other problems.
