Potential disruptions to get the job done safely:
Working around or near electricity can cause dangers for both the public and Unison crews completing maintenance or upgrade work. Where necessary, our crews may need to temporarily disconnect your electricity supply or divert local traffic to the area. Any planned temporary electricity outages / disconnections will be communicated to you by your electricity retailer, please ensure your contact details are up to date and keep an eye out for any updates from them on your service. We publish all of our planned outages on our Outages page.
For information and tips on how to be prepared for an electricity outage, please visit our Be Prepared for Outages page. We understand the inconvenience of going without power for any length of time and appreciate your patience and understanding as our crews work to complete these essential improvements safely.
