Penrose Substation update #10

Penrose Substation update #10

Vector wishes to advise that all but 324 customers were restored overnight. These customers are spread throughout the affected area in small pockets.

We have had to take off a further 200 customers in Remuera and Leonard Rd, Mt Wellington while we reconfigure the network and bring the other repaired cables back into service. The Remuera cable has been the most difficult to repair because of cable complexity within the Transpower yard and will potentially be the last to be restored.

We now expect to have the remaining cables repaired and reinstated throughout the day and into the evening, allowing us to reconfigure the network as those cables come in to ensure all customers are returned to service with full load.

We continue to ask that customers continue to conserve energy in the affected areas while crews are working on the remaining damaged cables.

Again, thank you for your ongoing patience during this outage. We appreciate the frustration it must have caused.
