🔌 Planned Power Outage – National Park (Major Network Upgrade)
We’re carrying out a significant planned upgrade to the electricity network in the National Park area.

🗓 Date: Wednesday 27 May
🕘 Time: 9:00am – 3:00pm

📍 Areas affected: Most of National Park, including Buddo Street and surrounding areas

What’s happening?

These upgrades will make the network stronger and more reliable for customers. Crews will be replacing key equipment in the area to improve performance, reduce outages and support the area ahead of the busy winter season.

This is a large outage affecting around 266 customers, and forms part of a coordinated double job where we also carry out additional work while the power is off to reduce the need for future outages and minimise disruption to customers.
If your property is affected by this outage, you will have received a letter or email from your retailer. If you have not received a notification from your retailer about a power outage, it is likely that your property will have power on Wednesday.

Backup date: Friday 29 May (if required)
We appreciate your patience while this important work is completed.
