Approximately 200 customers remain without electricity in the Otago area.
PowerNet crews from Invercargill, Gore, Balclutha, Palmerston, and Ranfurly were able to restore electricity to about 100 customers yesterday, however some people may be facing another night without electricity tonight.
Crews will be working to restore power to as many people as possible today, and a generator is on its way to the area with the hopes that power can be supplied to many of those impacted while repairs are undertaken.
Aerial surveys of the lines were undertaken yesterday, which revealed around 30 poles were impacted by the heavy snow on the 33kv line between Clarks Junction and Hindon.
Those currently without electricity include customers in the Clarks Junction, Hindon, Ranfurly – Kyeburn Diggings, Middlemarch – Bald Hill, and Merton – Hummock areas.
PowerNet will continue to provide updates via its website and Facebook page.
Customers who have not previously reported their power is out should do so now by phoning 0800 808 587.
