Power update – 17 January - 9:00am

Update to Endeavour Energy Storm Response

• Customers currently without power across the Endeavour Energy network: 3,400
• 52,000 customers were with out power at the peak of Wednesday evening’s storm

Endeavour Energy crews have continued efforts to restore power to customers following Wednesday night’s severe storm. 3,400 customers currently remain without power affected by 70 fault sites predominantly across the Kenthurst, Colo Heights, Glenorie, Cattai and Kurrajong areas.

Crews are expected to continue to make good progress again today to fix most of these repairs with some complex repairs to carrying into Saturday.

We have welcomed additional crews from Evo Energy to support South Coast and Southern Highlands crews who will help us restore power as fast as possible for our customers.

We thank customers for their understanding and patience and want to assure them we are working as safely and as fast as possible to get their power back on.

STAYING SAFE:

• Treat all powerlines as 'live' and dangerous by keeping at least 8m clear of them. Never drive across fallen powerlines!
• Report fallen powerlines immediately by calling us 24/7 on 131 003
• Avoid all contact with wires that are hanging low, on the ground or tangled in trees and other storm debris.
• If you’re using a portable generator for power, stay safe and avoid deadly exhaust fumes entering your home.
