Power out in Taupō
Hi neighbours,
Around 16,000 power customers in the Taupō area are without power after planned maintenance went wrong.
A spokesperson for Unison said something went wrong during planned maintenance at Transpower's Wairakei grid exit point.
She said Unison would keep customers updated via their Facebook page. At this stage power wasn't likely to be back on until around 4pm.
"It is a Transpower issue and we are working closely with them to sort it."
A post on the Transpower page apologised to those currently without power.
"Our crews are currently investigating and we will provide updates on this page as they become available," it read.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
