Hundreds of people are still without power following wild weather at the weekend.
Powerco crews worked through the night and are continuing repairs today after gale-force winds over the weekend caused widespread damage to the electricity network across the North Island.
As of midday Tuesday,320 customers remain without power, with outages including both storm-related and new incidents, a statement from Powerco said.
Since Saturday, more than 15,500 customers have experienced power disruptions of varying durations.
“For those without power - we are unable to provide restoration times, but our crews are working as quickly and safely to restore your power. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.”
