⚡At Centralines, we’re always looking for ways to better serve our community. That’s why we’re inviting some of our customers to share their thoughts and feedback on our electricity service.

The survey is being carried out by our trusted local partner, SIL Research, who have been working across Hawke’s Bay for many years.

💻 If you receive an invitation, we’d love for you to take part. Your feedback helps us understand what we’re doing well and where we can improve, so we can continue providing the best possible service for our community.

🌬️ Heads up Central Hawke’s Bay! 🟠

MetService has issued a Strong Wind Warning for Hawke’s Bay south of Hastings and the Tararua District. 💨

The warning is in place from 7pm tonight (Sunday) through to 5pm Monday, with westerly winds potentially gusting up to 120km/h in exposed spots.

Now’s a good time to get prepared if you need to — charge your devices and torches, secure anything loose around the place, check those trampolines, outdoor furniture and anything else that could end up down the road! 😅

There’s a chance of trees coming down and causing damage to powerlines, so we may see some outages across the region.

⚡ Our page is not monitored - If your power goes out, please report it to our faults line on 0800 NO POWER (0800 667 693).

Our faults crews will get out to outages when and where it’s safe to do so. 🌬️⚡

Stay safe, everyone — and batten down the hatches! 💨

Thank you , the Centralines team 💚

🚜Working on the land means working around electricity. 🐄

⚡Power lines, poles and equipment are part of the landscape — but they come with real risks.

Take extra care when:
• Moving tall machinery,
• Shifting irrigation, &
• Working near poles or lines.

If you’re planning work near power infrastructure, talk to us first — we’re here to help keep you safe. Find out more at https://www.centralines.co.nz/i-need-to/get-a-service/

🐶⚡ Sparky goes to school!

We had an awesome time visiting Flemington School with our very own Sparky the Dog! Sparky loved meeting all the kids, while the Centralines team shared some important messages about staying safe around electricity. 💛

There were lots of smiles, plenty of pats for Sparky, and some great learning along the way!

Would your school like a visit from Sparky? 🐾⚡
