EnergyAustralia storm preparation
What EnergyAustralia does to prepare for the summer storm season
While there will always be outages beyond EnergyAustralia’s control – caused by fallen trees, lightning strikes, accidents, and other weather related incidents – each year we dedicate significant resources to strengthening our network and minimising disruptions to customers.
Preventative maintenance, tree-trimming, placing staff on standby and continuous monitoring of weather patterns ensure we’ll be ready should a severe storm head our way.
Additionally, our ongoing line inspection program ensures every power pole and piece of EnergyAustralia equipment is regularly inspected for faults and any potential problems dealt with to minimise disruptions to customers’ power.
