Powercor crews worked to restore power for customers in the Otways after a fault on Tuesday afternoon.
More than 1600 customers initially lost power when a tree came over lines off Old Beech Forest Rd, near Gellibrand, just after 2pm.
Most customers were restored quickly, with Powercor’s Colac crews and network controllers working to switch customers onto different parts of the network.
Two customers remained off supply while crews completed repair works on Wednesday, with teams from Colac and Geelong working to repair the broken powerline and re-string the fallen conductors back on top of poles and insulators.
Two tracked vehicles were used in the repair, making access to steep and damp terrain easier for repair teams.
The area is among the more remote and challenging areas in the Powercor network.
We thank customers for their patience while our crews completed this repair.
