Electra Power Outages: Map & How to Report

Electra doesn't publish live data we can use, so we can't show a current count. Its official outage map shows power outages in Wellington and Manawatū-Whanganui.

PowerOutageTracker is independent and not affiliated with Electra. If you see a fallen power line, stay 10 metres away and call 111.
