I’ve received official comms from Vector regarding their on-going schedule of planned outages.
During the first lockdown in March/April, Vector postponed all but the absolutely critical works required for safety, supply or to support other essential services. Since then they have been working to deliver the postponed works.
Since the move to level 3, they again reviewed all their planned works and postponed or re-scoped a significant number. The remaining work Vector assessed to be so critical that they believed they could no delay- for safety or continuity of supply. They therefore have considered and/or applied the following during Alert Level 3:
- Moving works to weekends to minimise disruption to customers schooling and working from home during
- Moving works to outside social hours where possible - outside of 8am-10pm weekdays to minimise disruption
- Postponing works to beyond the 26th August where possible
- Re-scoping works and re-arranging outage times
- Cancelling capital works that are not urgent
- Using temporary generation to minimise daytime planned outage impacts whenever this is technically feasible.
For any updates on planned outages during Level 3, please visit the link provided.

A south Auckland gym owner has started an initiative to promote health and wellbeing in his community after winning $50,000.
Papatoetoe resident Alan Leuluai, 56, owns the Anytime Fitness gym in Manukau, and is one of the ten nationwide recipients of the AIA Vitality Business and Community Grant Initiative.
The initiative offers grants to improve the health and wellbeing of local communities.
Leuluai has created a 12-week fitness programme targeted at Māori and Pasifika people.
The programme includes free access to the gym for 12 weeks, access to a personal trainer, three fitness classes and a workshop on nutrition.
It will be offered to 100 people, who will also receive a 50 percent gym membership discount if they refuse to give up and “show grit and determination” over the 12 weeks.
The standard membership fee is $17 a week.
Leuluai said costs are a big barrier that prevent people from getting into fitness.
“We want to tackle obesity because it is the root cause of many problems in our community, like diabetes and high blood pressure,” he said.
“If we get some families into a healthy routine of exercising that can have a ripple effect in the rest of the community.”
The grants competition is run by AIA New Zealand, a leading life insurance specialist.
