This is the time we estimate that most customers in your suburb will get their power back on.
The time given is based on the current information available to Western Power. As more information becomes available, this restoration time may change.
“Estimated restoration: Unknown”
We are aware of a power interruption in your area. The term “unknown” occurs when there has been a major event and the network is significantly damaged. Unfortunately it is possible that some customers will be without power for an extended period of time. We will update restoration times as information becomes available.
