Questions
All FAQs →How do I check if there is a power outage in my area?
Type your 4-digit postcode or city in the search box, or tap the location button. The postcode page shows the current status, a confidence score, every report from the last 24 hours and your electric network's outage line and map.
How do I report a power outage?
First check your breaker panel. Then report the outage to your electric network (the number is on your postcode page and your bill) – networks restore power based on customer reports. Also tap “Power is out” on your postcode page so neighbours know, and “Power is back” when it returns.
Who do I call for a downed power line?
Call 000 and then your electric network. Stay at least 8 metres away and assume every downed line is live – never touch it or anything it is touching, including water or a car.
Do I need to sign up or share personal details?
No. Reporting is anonymous. We do not ask for your name, phone number or street address. See the Privacy Policy for details.
