No matter who runs it, there WILL be outages, it's technology and technology breaks sometimes.. hell, even my Starlet needs a tune up once a decade or so...

I think that it's been acknowledged that Transpower took the attitude that a good way to maximise profits was not to carry out maintenance.
Now I understand (and John might know more about this) they are looking to increase line charges on a localised basis to pay for upgrades and maintenance that should have been carried out as a matter of course by a prudent operator anyway.
