Over 1,500 Aucklanders still without power after storm

April 15, 2018
Vector are still trying connect power for many Aucklanders cut off after Tuesday's fierce storm.

Vector's outage crews continue to make progress as thousands of customers remain without power or hot water following last Tuesday's storm.

Between 1,500 and 2,500 homes and businesses have been affected, down from previous figures of 3,000, the company said.

The number of customers hit continue to fluctuate as poor weather and tree falls continue to cause new or additional damage to existing power outages.

"The scale of the wind-storm event and the multiple factors involved in each outage has meant we haven’t been able to give accurate estimates for power coming back to individual houses," Vector said in a statement.

"We know this has been a significant source of customer frustration and we apologise for this."
