Transpower suffered an incident with their lines today (30 September 2024) which has left Fairlie, Tekapo and surrounding areas without power.

We expect that Alpine will be able to connect the majority of households in Fairlie, Albury and surrounding areas by late Monday.

Tomorrow, Tuesday 1 October, Council staff will be opening the Tekapo Community Hall from 9.00 am where power and internet will be available for the public to charge devices, make wifi calls etc.

A representative from Alpine Energy will also be on site from 10.00 am.

At this stage there are no impacts of this incident on council services except for public toilets in Tekapo and Burkes Pass which have had to be closed. Signs are in place to direct users to the nearest other toilets currently in operation.

UPDATE 7:00pm

As our crews work on repairs, our partner Alpine Energy has managed to get some supply up and running for a number of customers in Fairlie and Albury. If you have electricity, Alpine Energy is asking you to be mindful of how much you use so that they can supply as many people as possible.

Some tips to conserve power can be found on their page.

-------

UPDATE 5:45pm

Our work is continuing on site for as long as daylight allows tonight, and then will start again first thing tomorrow. The latest information we have is that power should be restored late afternoon tomorrow.

We appreciate your patience, and know there's never a good time to be without power.

-------

Kia ora everyone in the Tekapo and Albury area

Our crew is now on site and have confirmed that our transmission lines have been cut after a helicopter crop dusting on private rural land hit the lines.

The pilot is safe and was able to land and report the incident.

Our best estimate of the time it will take to repair the damage is 24-36 hours at this stage. We will provide updates on these timeframes as we progress through our repair work.

You can visit Alpine Energy, your local lines company, for more specific information on what areas are without power.

We appreciate your patience and will continue providing updates here on our page.

Power outage in Tekapo and Albury

This morning, at around 10:25 AM, a crop-dusting helicopter’s boom made contact with Transpower’s transmission lines, causing a power outage in the Tekapo and Albury areas. Fortunately, no one was injured, and the lines fell on private land.

Repairs are required to restore power, with an estimated timeframe of 24-36 hours for completion. Transpower will have a clearer idea as the work progresses and we will keep you updated.

Alpine Energy is actively exploring options to restore power to some areas today. For more information on the affected areas, please visit our website. We'll continue to provide updates here on Facebook and our website.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
