Progressing Power and Water - Mervyn Davies' Report

In September and October 2008, approximately 15,000 customers were affected by separate power outages as a result of equipment faults in and around the Casuarina 66/11kV zone substation. The equipment faults involved an 11kV circuit breaker, two 11kV cable boxes and three 11kV cables.

This caused community disruption and concern about the performance of Power Networks’ assets. As a consequence, the Northern Territory Government commissioned an Enquiry, led by Mervyn Davies, to investigate these faults and Power and Water’s substation maintenance practices.

Power and Water immediately committed to implementing the Enquiry Report’s Recommendations as soon as possible.

Power and Water expects every milestone and recommendation to be complete by December 2010. There has already been significant progress in the months since the Casuarina events and the Enquiry Report.

Power and Water is committed to transparent reporting to stakeholders, including customers, the Northern Territory Government, the Utilities Commission and the wider community.

Progress reports will detail the 37 major milestones that give effect to Mervyn Davies’ recommendations and incorporates the urgent work associated with the Remedial Asset Management Program (RAMP). RAMP will ensure safe access to substations in order to carry out remedial works and replace the Casuarina Zone Substation 11kV switchboard.
