It’s Friday morning 14th March 2025 and a quick review at the Energex Outage finder shows that we’re down to ‘only’ ~17,000 customers off supply:
… most of these are down on the Gold Coast, and we see from the map these are inland, where I presume there’s more vegetation and including locations where road access might have been damaged via TC Alfred (not TC Albert, sorry):
I have not looked in northern NSW, but readers should also not forget that there would also be customers still off supply there.
Thanks to the tireless work of Energex we had power restored two days earlier than first predicted. We are so grateful for there massive effort after cyclone Alfred.
