Update: Critical works to continue through lockdown

28 May, 2021

We’ve had some questions about why we are continuing to conduct planned outages during Victoria’s lockdown due to the latest COVID-19 outbreak.

We understand many of our customers are working or studying from home. In response, we have reviewed outages scheduled between 28 May and 3 June. Where we can, we have rescheduled work or minimised the size and length of the outages.

Planned maintenance is an essential part of how we manage our network. Planned outages allow our crews to safely maintain the electricity network so we can keep delivering reliable power to homes and businesses.

By doing this planned work now, we are reducing the risk of unplanned blackouts in the future.

For those who may be impacted by planned outages, we have developed some tips on how to prepare for a planned power outage.

Getting through a planned power outage

CitiPower and Powercor recognise Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples and Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge their ancient and continuing connection to Country.

We work hard to ensure our organisation is inclusive and diverse. This means everyone can feel valued, trusted, authentic and safe at work.
