Unplanned Outages

Unplanned power outages can occur at any time.

You can prepare for an outage or storm event by:

  • Charging cell phones and any battery powered devices and checking your emergency preparedness kit, including torches and batteries.
  • Having a battery powered radio so you can keep up with emergency alerts and news, and knowing which radio stations to tune in to for this information.
  • Knowing how to manually open and close your electric garage door or electric gate.
  • Keeping your car’s petrol tank full, as petrol stations rely on electricity to power their pumps.
  • Checking your BBQ gas bottle and refilling it if necessary, so you’re able to cook and boil water.
  • Eating from your fridge first and opening it, and the freezer, as little as possible. An unopened fridge will keep contents cool for up to 24 hours and an unopened freezer for up to 48 hours.
  • Storing water for drinking and flushing toilets if you're on a water pump.
  • Considering surge protectors for electronic equipment.
  • Considering a battery pack to charge devices.
  • Remembering your wifi won't be working so it's a good idea to have data.

Planned Outages

We make every effort to minimise disruption when planning work on our network, however outages ensure work can be completed safely by our crews.

We provide planned outage information to electricity retailers and the retailers notify affected customers. In some cases we will notify any affected customers by a letter drop.

Medically dependent customers should ensure backup plans are in place to handle electricity outages.

If you need power during an outage you should contact an electrician or generator hire company to arrange temporary generation. This service will be at your cost. Please also advise us if you intend to use a generator during an outage so that we can inform our field staff.

Once we have completed our work we may need to carry out electrical testing on your meter board. If we do need to test, and your meter board is electrically unsafe and/or not readily accessible, this may delay the restoration of power to your premises.

If you have concerns about the safety of your electrical installation, please contact an electrician. This service will be at your cost.

If our work is completed ahead of schedule, power may be restored earlier than the stated time. Therefore always treat power lines and electrical equipment as live at all times.

In the case of extreme weather conditions or network faults, an outage may be rescheduled.
