Power is out in parts of Northland.

Power is out in parts of Northland.

A power outage has struck parts of the Far North.

Power went out in parts of Kerikeri around 9.20am today.

The latest Top Energy update on the Inlet Rd, Kerikeri outage says power was restored just after 10.35am.

The cause was tree contact.

However, power is still out for 237 households in streets at the end of Inlet Rd, including Davis Strongman Pl, Edmonds Rd, Furness Rd, Hauparua Lane, Quinces Landing, and Wharau Rd, affecting 237 customers. Power is expected back on at 11.30am.
