Electricity service line on your property

Your safety and the safety of our people is our top priority, especially after a severe weather event.

If bad weather or damage has pulled the service line attached to your property away, stay clear and call us on 1800 245 092.

After we ensure the situation is safe, you’ll need a Northern Territory licensed electrician. They must provide a Certificate of Compliance before we can reconnect your power.
