Transpower is undertaking further investigations into Monday's power outage across the central North Island.
More than 4000 properties in Raetihi, Taihape, Ohakune, National Park and Ongarue lost power due to a fault around 9am.
Transpower spokesman Geoff Wishart said there was a tripping (fault) on a 110,000 volt line feeding areas between Ongarue in the north and Taihape in the south.
