Northpower crews ask for social distancing to continue

Alison Shrigley Reporter from Whangārei Leader

As New Zealand is now at Alert Level 3, crews are undertaking more work on the Northpower electricity network to ensure the lights stay on and to minimise the risk of any unplanned outages in the lead up to winter.

Crews are strictly following Covid-19 controls and safety remains a number one priority so if you come across Northpower crews working, please stay clear as they are safely inside their work bubbles.

Many Northpower staff are still working remotely from their homes and while Northpower’s offices and depots remain closed to visitors, staff are ready to help. In the event of a power outage in the Whangarei and Kaipara Districts please contact 0800 10 40 40. For other queries call the Northpower Customer Services Team on 0800 667 847.
