Transpower predicts potential power shortages on Friday due to high demand amid cold temperatures.
Transpower warns of possible power shortages on Friday, as temperatures plunge overnight and demand rises. Power generation and reserves may not meet demand between 7:30-8:30 am, with Transpower managing demand to avoid a grid emergency. In 2021, nearly 34,000 households lost power due to insufficient supplies during a cold night, leading to a $150,000 fine for Transpower's role in the blackouts.
