Cold Hot Water - Night Boost Failure - Ripple Load Control

David from Ngaio

Did anyone else have cold water this morning from having their night boost hot water heater fail to turn on last night? A fault with the Wellington Electricity Ripple Control system seems likely. It would be helpful to know how many people are affected, as it might help the Power Companies assign a higher priority to fix recurring Load Control problems.
