Ergon's Ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji Update

Ergon Energy field crews worked throughout the night on Sunday, and as at 5am on Monday, there are approximately 2,500 customers without electricity due to ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji.

This is down from the peak of 23,000 customers that were impacted across Townsville, the Whitsundays, and the Mackay local government areas yesterday.

Approximately 20,500 customers have had their electricity restored since yesterday’s cyclone landfall, which is 90% of impacted customers.

Ergon Energy crews will continue restoration efforts today, noting the outlying customers may experience a longer restoration timeframe depending on the extent of network damage, and the ability for crews to access the damaged areas.

Ergon crews will do damage assessments of the remaining impacted network today to determine estimated restoration timeframes for the remaining customers and communities impacted.

Once determined, each estimated restoration timeframe will be uploaded into the Ergon outage finder website for customers to best determine their individual situation and arrangements.

Information on any remaining electricity outages is available at Ergon Network’s online outage finder: www.ergon.com.au/network/outages/outage-finder/outage-finder-text-view
