Where possible, we will always try to keep the power on, however, there are situations like this where we need to isolate the power to keep people safe.

Often, power can be restored quickly with a simple reset or by replacing a fuse at a nearby substation. If the problem is more complicated, repairs may take a little longer but our teams will keep working until everything is safely back up and running.
