Cyclone Gabrielle is making her presence felt. We have several outages across the network this morning. ⚡️ Our crews are out there making things safe, assessing damage, and working to restore power. Our website has up-to-date information on all outages: northpower.com/electricity/cu…

If you are currently without power in Northland it is very likely you will be without power overnight, and possibly for several days. Until this wind abates it is not safe to begin repairs. Read out the latest update here: northpower.com/gabrielle

The wind continues to batter us, we now have 22,500 customers without power. Stay safe and stay dry. 🧡

Cyclone Gabrielle’s winds have continued to hit the Northland region hard. This is a significant event for the network and we have not seen this level of damage since Cyclone Bola in 1988. Our latest update is available here: northpower.com/gabrielle

Thank you everyone for your understanding while we work through the damage caused by Cyclone Gabrielle. 🧡 Here’s a quick update from our CEO, Andrew McLeod. To stay up-to-date with the latest updates from Northpower, visit northpower.com/gabrielle.

As of 4pm we have 15,500 customers without power, but the situation is continually changing. Our main priority is to liven the main lines that supply the most customers. We will continue to scope, reduce outage areas and work on repairing these main lines first.

Cyclone Gabrielle continues to cause catastrophic damage to the electricity network across Kaipara and Whangarei, with further extensive damage overnight. 🌀 Please read our full update to find key information on specific area: northpower.com/gabrielle #cyclonegabrielle #cyclone

The extensive nature of network damage means it is likely to take up to a week to repair and rebuild. Once the weather clears and the situation stabilises this will enable us to complete construction rebuilds and repairs at pace. Here’s an update from our CEO Andrew McLeod.

Over the course of the day, we have made good progress despite the weather and access conditions. We have restored power to 12,200 customers and currently, there are 17,800 customers without power. Please visit northpower.com/gabrielle to read the full update.
