🟠 NEW LANCELIN BACK-UP POWER 🟠 We've installed a high voltage injection unit (HVIU) that connects several emergency response generators (ERGs) to support the Lancelin community improving power reliability over summer. The unit can power around 1,100 homes and businesses should a fault on the feeder line impact power supply. The HVIU was successfully switched on for the first time yesterday, providing back up power within 25 minutes of an unplanned outage occurring. The HVIU powered the townsit

⛈️ With severe weather forecast, it's a good idea to tie down any loose items ahead of storms as debris can end up in powerlines and cause outages. If severe weather does cause multiple incidents, our priority is to ensure the area is safe and then work on restoration efforts. This work may impact the duration of outages in some cases. If you see an electrical hazard, stay 8m away and Make the Safe Call to us on 13 13 51. For more information, visit: bit.ly/3QkglAq #makethesafecall #westernpower
