Power outage in Taupo - are you affected?
A power cut has affected all of Taupo - we will update this post as we find out the latest information.
An 8.30am power cut in Taupō has left businesses and townsfolk waiting for the lights to come back on.
Unison lines company said the cut may originated at the Wairakei substation.
"Transpower staff are investigating an issue relating to an issue with a switchboard at their Wairakei substation," a post to Unison's Facebook page said at 10.05am. "They will provide us with an update as soon as they have completed their inspection."
Transpower operated the national power grid.
Kinloch and Reporoa are without power too. Turangi, Tokoroa, Mangakino and Whakamaru still have power. Taupō Hospital has back-up power systems and Taupō Airport has generators running to power guidance systems.
