There appears to be plenty of generation reserves available, probably an unrelated local network outage ..

But is there enough capacity in the grid to get the power to Auckland?

I Haven't seen anything super recent, but traditionally NZ ( and Auckland) peak loads are winter evenings,.... summer load is likely to be rising (esp with favouring of heatpumps), but I don't think it has flipped yet....

Auckland used to have  supply capacity issues  but the Waikato transmission lines installed in the last decade fixed that...
