On Wednesday 9 April, we’ll be upgrading some power poles along the 66kV powerline between Mt Beauty and Clover Flat. Replacing these power poles will:
- allow more energy to flow through from the Clover Flat power station
- improve the local energy network
- help us connect and support more renewable energy into the area.
Power outage
To complete these works safely, we’ll need to turn the power off in Falls Creek, Bogong Village and Howmans Gap from 9am to 4pm. We have directly communicated with all customers impacted by this outage.
We have engaged with Alpine Ski Resorts be without power for the duration of the works.
There will also be road closures along Bogong High Plains Rd between Mount Beauty and Falls Creek, from 7am to 5pm. See the map below for details. Traffic management and detours will be in place to safely guide you through the area.
We are doing these works ahead of ski season and during the middle of the week to reduce impacts on tourism.
