Northland's power network is being zapped into action in the wake of the pylon collapse outage. 

In June, a contractor unfastened three legs of a pylon at once, putting around 88,000 homes and businesses out of power. 

Northland MP Grant McCallum revealed a regional energy package, with Transpower and contractor Omexom putting one million dollars towards it. 

McCallum told Ryan Bridge that it's not enough to make up for the financial damages, but it is something. 

He said that it’s a goodwill payment and an acknowledgement that they did actually cause some harm to the people of Northland.
