MainPower has been distributing electricity to the North Canterbury region for around 100 years. Our network area spans from north of the Waimakariri River, through the Waimakariri and Hurunui districts to Kaikōura.
As the region’s fire risk increases, MainPower is implementing extra safety measures to protect our communities.
This means that restoring power after an outage may take longer than usual.
Thank you for your patience as we work to restore power quickly and safely.
MainPower offices will be closed from Friday 20th December to Monday 6th January.
We will still be attending faults during this period.
Troubleshoot your outage
Treat all lines as live during the outage period; power may be restored at any time. If you require further information, please call MainPower’s 24-hour fault line to report an emergency call 111.
