Outages

Your local lines company is responsible for fixing electricity outages and faults.

The quickest way to find your lines company is in your app via the support tab, or through your online account.

Otherwise, scroll down to find your network, or for help with broadband or mobile outages.

Lines company unable to help?

If you have contacted your lines company about your electricity outage, and they were not able to help, the issue is related to your property rather than the lines network.

In this case call our faults team on 0800 THE KIWI (843 5494) and select option 0.

Internet or mobile down?

If your internet or phone is acting funky, swing by our troubleshooting page.

You can see if there are any outages around your place, or run through some steps to get back up and running if needed.
