Power has been restored in Porirua after an outage affecting about 5000 properties on Saturday morning.
The outage coincided with a frosty Saturday morning.
Lines company Wellington Electricity said the power was cut about 9.40am due to a problem at the Mana zone substation.
It said crews worked on the problem and managed to get it back on at about midday.
Properties in Paremata, Papakowhai, Camborne, Whitby, Titahi Bay, Pauatahanui, Plimmerton, Porirua City Centre and Aotea were affected.
MetService's website shows it was a still, frosty morning in the area, and it was about 4 degrees Celsius when the power went out.
