Current Outages

Load Shedding

MLL controls load for a variety of reasons, including minimising our contribution to the loading on the regional transmission grid during peak times, and in response to faults or emergencies.

There are 16 channels that control different parts of MLL’s network. Each channel can be turned on or off separately. If a channel is turned off this means there is no power to your controlled meter (most likely your hot water cylinder). This is what is called load shedding. If the chart below shows there are 16 channels on then there is no load shedding.

Planned Shutdowns

From time-to-time MLL has planned shutdowns on the network to carry out upgrades and maintenance.

The shutdowns allow our teams to work on the network in a safe manner and we always endeavour to organise the shutdowns to be as least disruptive as possible to our consumers.
