The outage – which took out approximately half the sports field lighting and took 17 minutes to return to full power – is believed to have been the result of a software problem. It was unrelated to a planned lights-out display which was abandoned after the outage.
Dunedin Venues will investigate the unplanned outage and report to New Zealand Rugby as part of its event debrief and review.
