Our Services - Part of Your World
We’re out and about in your community every day. These are some of the things we’re doing:
Planned Outages and Power Faults
Our network can be affected by uncontrollable events, such as vehicles hitting power poles, wildlife near power lines, severe weather, or damage to underground cables. Therefore, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted power supply.
If there’s a power outage or an unplanned interruption, we will work quickly to restore electricity and keep you informed via SMS, email, and our website. Please ensure your retailer has your correct contact information.
Working around live power lines can be dangerous. For your safety, we may need to interrupt power supply to keep everyone safe while we complete work. We’ll always give you at least four business days’ notice of a planned interruption.
Notice a power fault in your area? You can report it by calling us on 131 626.

Our Commitment

Innovation and Future Electricity
Harnessing new technologies for a sustainable future network
Community Batteries
Jemena is making locally generated renewable energy available to more homes and businesses by installing new community batteries within our electricity network.
Community batteries benefit electricity customers by making renewable energy available to everyone connected to the local network, not just those with rooftop solar. They can help stabilise the electricity grid by soaking up excess solar during the day and using it to reduce demand on the grid during peak times at night.
