Powerlines Hawke’s Bay sent a crew of 4 to support restoration efforts alongside Top Energy. Their collaboration was crucial for addressing outages and ensuring community safety. Top Energy acknowledged the resilience of customers during this time. This effort highlights the importance of unity in facing natural disasters and the commitment to restoring essential services.
