About this listen

A suggestion most Northland businesses are ready to move on rather than seek compensation over widespread power outages.

In June last year, an inexperienced worker removed nuts from three of a pylon's legs causing it to fall over cutting power to almost the entire region.

The opt-out class action against Transpower and its lines maintenance contractor is being backed by Australian financing firm Omni Bridgeway.

North Chamber Chief Executive Leah McKerrow told Mike Hosking local businesses are ready to move on, if it's been learnt from.

She says businesses would rather see investment in energy resilience and roading rather than try to take on a government-owned entity.
