In the case of an emergency, or if you can smell gas, call 000 immediately.

Contact your distributor.

Your distributor owns and maintains the energy network in your area and can give you information about what’s happening when there’s an outage or blackout.

To find out when your power can be restored contact your distributor. You can find your distributor if you don’t know who yours is.


Some postcodes have several distributors. If you see more than one distributor listed you can confirm who yours is by looking:

  • On your bill under faults and emergencies. For quick access your bill can be found in View my bills in My Account or the app.

  • In the Current plans section in My Account
