- Description
A Transpower bureaucrat tells his PA to instruct 'our sharebroker to take up a strategic holding in candles'. Refers to an incident in which a power cable hit trees on the farm of Steve Meier, causing a fire that led to cuts to an area from Huntly to Whangarei. Steve Meier refused to allow electricity workers access to power lines to fix a fault that had cut electricity to 50,000 homes. Lines company Vector introduced rolling outages to Auckland suburbs to share the load and restored power at 8pm. Meanwhile, Auckland Mayor John Banks called for heads to roll at Transpower following the major power outage but Energy Minister Gerry Brownlee said that there was a multiplicity of reasons (for the outage) and the way to fix it was to have the new high tension lines through the Waikato built as quickly as possible.
