Energy Minister Simeon Brown wants appropriate accountability over a fallen electricity tower.  

Thousands of Northland residents experienced outages yesterday after a transmission tower toppled northwest of Auckland. 

The Electricity Authority says it's investigating and Simeon Brown's asked WorkSafe to do the same. 

Electricity Authority Chief Executive, Sarah Gillies, told Heather du Plessis-Allan “Consumers have a right to have confidence in their electricity supply.” 

Gillies said “We’re the regulator – and we’re independent.”
