Thanks for sharing tue situation with us. I live just across the ditch in New Zealand and somehow managed to remain oblivious about it. The developments makes me feel somewhat uneasy since NZ is highly reliant on hydroelectric power and we have been shutting down thermal plants because they are no longer required. Whilst there is excess capacity now we have had problems during the droughts in 2004 so the risk of another shortage is real. Also, why is the internet affected? Is the communications cable laid next to the HVDC cable?
