Further Power Cuts In Auckland
Unlikely
A second transformer has been brought back into service at the Penrose Substation.
The repair work was ahead of schedule following continuous work over two nights.
Having two transformers in operation minimises the
need for any power cuts today
and the chance of the
second transformer failing is low.
The failure of a cable
termination on a transformer at Otahuhu is an unrelated
to
issue to Penrose. This is under repair and there is no
impact to
consumers.
