Power has still not restored to parts of the Auckland suburb of New Lynn following an explosion at a power pole on Saturday evening.
Vector says the estimated time for power restoration will be between 2pm and 3pm today.
“Our crew has advised that unfortunately, the work will take longer than expected,” it said in a statement.
It had earlier estimated the power to be restored by 6am Sunday.
Vector said crews are underway resolving the network fault in Gardiner Ave which happened yesterday evening and caused the power to go out for a number of customers in the immediate area.
