Outages caused by lightning - you can assist us

Please report any outages or damage you see and note the time power was lost.

Report outages

During lightning storms, you can assist us by reporting lightning damage to our equipment, and the time power was lost.

This is especially helpful in areas where our powerlines stretch for many kms, such as in rural and remote locations. 

We align the time power was lost with our Lightning Strike Finder tool, which helps us narrow down the areas of lightning damage, to assist our crews to find and fix faults.
