Nearly 100,000 people spent the day without electricity in Northland after a transmission tower linking the region to the rest of the country collapsed.
Power was restored to most of the region last night, but consumers were asked to conserve electricity and warned their hot water cylinders would remain off while the amount of energy getting into the area was limited.
Transpower said this morning that while power had now been restored to the majority of residential customers, full power would not be restored until over the weekend.
And, it warned there was still insufficient power for the Northland region at peak times; with householders being told to conserve power at peak times (6am to 9am, 5pm to 9pm).
apparently they took the anchor bolts out!!!!!
