Transpower says it's looking at what it can do for wider Northland after its fallen pylon caused a widespread power outage.
An investigation has found contractor Omexom's team leader was distracted sandblasting, as unsupervised inexperienced workers removed the bolts from three legs at once.
Residents can contact their retailer about compensation - but Transpower says it can't compensate businesses.
Acting CEO John Clarke says they've spoken with Northland MP Grant McCallum.
"We will be talking with him and other leaders... they may make an announcement of how we can support the community in some way, given the challenges that they have faced."
