Tasman Power Outages
New Zealand has no open live feed, so the quickest way to check Tasman is the official outage map from Network Tasman.
Network Tasman serves Tasman and Golden Bay, including Murchison. Adverse weather made up most of its unplanned interruptions in the year to March 2026, at 330 of 408 minutes, and its largest recorded peak of about 26,700 connections fell on 30 December 2025, based on Commerce Commission records. Since amalgamating with Nelson Electricity on 31 March 2026, it is the only lines company across Nelson and Tasman.
