POWER OUTAGES
Due to insufficient generation to meet New Zealand’s load demands, we’ve been instructed by Transpower (the national grid operator) to reduce the amount of load on our network with immediate effect.
As a result of this there will be rolling power outages across the region. It is unclear how long these outages will be required for, however it is expected that this will not impact individual customers for more than a 4 hour period.
As a precautionary measure, all medically dependent customers are advised to action their back-up plans or go to Waikato Hospital if required.
We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding, and we will keep you updated.

The news feeds failed to mention that one of the reasons for the lack of generation was the wind turbines not operating due to no wind.
 
That's an interesting site your reading o_O
Duely noted up this way even people who allegedly voted Labour are starting to question the tangent they seem to be on.
