Power has been restored in Invercargill after an outage this morning that impacted the city centre and other areas, including Otatara.

The outage occurred around 9.30am, with a second fault occurring 45 minutes later.

“PowerNet is pleased to advise that power has been restored to all customers, as at approximately 1.30pm today,” a spokesperson said.

“Our investigation into the cause and repairs have been completed – the outage was caused by a duck flying into power lines – not a downed power pole or lines as previously thought.”
