Banks Peninsula wind storm update 4pm Saturday 12 July:

Our repair crews have been in the area restoring properties as they can, but we do still have a number of customers without power. We ask those customers to prepare for a night without power.

There are a large number of faults, predominantly on our 11kV network and the crews are focusing on these now, with the line between Duvauchelle and Akaroa being the priority. As earlier reported, there are a lot of trees across lines and lines on the ground.

Please treat all lines as live and stay clear.  If you do see damage or lines on the ground please call Orion on 0800 363 9898.

Our crews will continue restoring power where they can and keep working as long as it remains safe for them to do so.
