Penrose Substation update
Vector wishes to advise
that all but 324 customers have been restored overnight.
Crews worked in very challenging weather conditions with
hail, rain and wind hampering their efforts.
The main St Johns feeder was restored allowing most of the customers in affected areas to have power this morning.
This has allowed us to spread the load over more of the network, but as the peak load comes up this morning, we may have to drop some customers off. They will be restored once the peak has passed. Please conserve energy if you are in the affected areas as it will allow more customers to remain on.
Work on restoring the remaining fire damaged cables will continue today.
