The aircraft remained on the ground for about 3 hours, then departed and reached Auckland with a delay of 3 hours.
A passenger reported the crew initially attempted to solve the problem via checklists while holding on a taxiway, then the aircraft returned to the gate. Passengers were told the delay would be short as the electrical issue would be an easy fix. It appeared the electrical issue was related to the air conditioning, while several attempts to fix the problem failed cabin temperature rose, the ambient temperature outside was 30 degrees Celsius. After about 3 hours the aircraft finally departed.
