http://www.gridnewzealand.co.nz/n45.html indicates the max capacity of the link is '1040 MW and it operates at voltages of 270 kV and 350 kV', not 1200 MW @ 400Kv. It would seem that the link could have a higher capacity at the higher voltages, but possibly the current poles aren't configured to produce voltages at that level. There's quite a bit of history about the cable here http://www.techhistory.co.nz/Electricity/Cookstcable.htm. Brianegge (talk) 21:48, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
