An Update from NorthPower
Media statement: Cyclone Dovi
Tuesday 15 Feb
Clean up and restoration continues for those impacted by Cyclone Dovi
Northpower currently has 175 open fault jobs, impacting close to 100 customers, down from the peak of 6,000 affected customers on Sunday. The damage to the network has been extensive and widespread and we’d like to thank the community for their patience and support.
Cyclone Dovi was sharp and intense with winds exceeding 150km/h in many places and this has resulted in damage to poles, overhead lines and transformers. This along with the damage caused by large trees and branches has made it difficult to complete the repairs as the vegetation needed to be cleared first.
Please be assured our teams have been working to resolve these outages while keeping our customers, the public and our crews safe. We have brought in additional resource to assist and have more than 150 people involved in the restoration efforts. We are aiming to have most of the power restored today, it is however likely that some people will be without power night and into tomorrow.
If you power is not able to be restored and you will be without power tonight, one of our team will call you this afternoon.
