Power Outage in Far West: Crews Work to Restore Electricity

Prolonged Power Outage in Far West After Generator Failure

Communities in the Far West face a prolonged power outage after a large-scale backup generator failed around 5 p.m. on Monday. Crews worked overnight to investigate the issue, with repairs expected to last until Tuesday, October 22. 

Additional generators have been sent to Broken Hill, and teams from Transgrid and Essential Energy are working to connect them safely. Severe storms previously damaged the transmission network, and emergency work is ongoing. Residents should note potential impacts on telecommunications networks. For life-threatening situations, Triple Zero (000) remains the quickest way to contact emergency services.
