Power has been restored in Northland, after about 9000 households were left without power on Saturday night. Those households were told to head out for dinner earlier on Saturday evening, as the major power outage was expected to take a few hours to resolve. Power was restored to all households before midnight. The company asked customers in the Whangārei city, Keingston, Whau Valley and Tikipunga areas to conserve power in order to keep their electricity connected. According to Northpower, the outage earlier affected greater Whangārei Central, Maunu, Tikipunga, Onerahi.
