Power has been restored to most Porirua customers, although just over 260 homes are still without electricity.
More than 1100 homes in Porirua were left without power this morning after an outage.
Affected areas included Papakowhai, Porirua City Centre, Paremata, Aotea, Porirua and Pukerua Bay.
Wellington Electricity said the outage was not related to the large scrub fire at Porirua yesterday morning, because it was on a different power supply line.
Power is estimated to be restored by 12.30pm, it said.
