| 701238 | 2008-08-29 04:23:00 | Are you sure look at auckland last year there power went off unexpectedly because a power cable snapped at a substation.The ground in marlborough is very unstable and soft you never know what could happen given the fact that nzs power grid isnt 100 percent reliable and needs a major upgrade. | Hitech (9024) | ||

| 701241 | 2008-08-29 07:15:00 | I thought it was the opposite in the article. I assumed it was the North Island that relied on the power coming from the South Island. :confused: |

| 701243 | 2008-08-29 07:55:00 | I thought it was the opposite in the article. I assumed it was the North Island that relied on the power coming from the South Island. :confused: In summer, electricity flows North. In winter, power flows south due to increased demand on thermal energy (which is mainly in the north island). |
