Vector Outages and Level 3 Approach
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed a few comments on the page about power outages in our local area. I’ve received official comms from Vector regarding their on-going schedule of planned outages.
During the first lockdown in March/April, Vector postponed all but the absolutely critical works required for safety, supply or to support other essential services. Since then they have been working to deliver the postponed works.
Since the move to level 3, they again reviewed all their planned works and postponed or re-scoped a significant number. The remaining work Vector assessed to be so critical that they believed they could no delay- for safety or continuity of supply. They therefore have considered and/or applied the following during Alert Level 3:
- Moving works to weekends to minimise disruption to customers schooling and working from home during
- Moving works to outside social hours where possible - outside of 8am-10pm weekdays to minimise disruption
- Postponing works to beyond the 26th August where possible
- Re-scoping works and re-arranging outage times
- Cancelling capital works that are not urgent
- Using temporary generation to minimise daytime planned outage impacts whenever this is technically feasible.
For any updates on planned outages during Level 3, please visit the link provided.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
