Original Announcement: Contact Energy New Plymouth power station extends outage

Origin Energy reported that a planned maintenance outage at Contact Energy's New Plymouth power station has been extended for three to four weeks to investigate the discovery of some asbestos under insulation pipe lagging. The New Plymouth power station was built by the New Zealand Electricity Department over 30 years ago and, like many power stations built around that time, the use of asbestos was common. The affected areas of the site have been isolated, and the Department of Labour's Occupational Safety and Health service has been informed, have visited the site and are satisfied with the way it is being managed.
