Update on power outages in Kensington: 14 October 12.35pm

14 October, 2022

As a result of flood waters around Dynon Road, CitiPower has de-energised a number of submerged high-voltage electrical assets in Kensington.

Safety is always our priority, and we have taken this action to reduce the risk to the community and minimise long-term damage to electricity assets that may lead to prolonged power outages.

The current outage is affecting power to about 1150 customers in Kensington.

The high voltage kiosks are located in and around Dynon Road.

We will continue monitoring conditions and will restore power once conditions improve and it is safe to do so.

We thank customers for their patience and understanding during these difficult conditions.

We will keep customers updated via SMS and our website on www.powercor.com.au

CitiPower and Powercor acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners as the original custodians of the lands and waters where we operate. We recognise First Peoples’ unique rights as Traditional Owners and their deep spiritual connection to Country, and thank them for continuing to care for it. We honour Elders past and present whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices.

We work hard to ensure our organisation is inclusive and diverse. This means everyone can feel valued, trusted, authentic and safe at work.
