This is the average time to repair an overhead streetlight fault. Some kinds of faults take longer to fix, such as streetlights supplied by an underground connection.
We do rolling proactive replacements of some streetlight parts to stop faults before they occur. The information here is summarised by local government area, but we do the work by street directory grids.
Crews also patrol parts of major traffic routes at night to spot any lights that need repair every three months.
Taken from our meter reading data, this shows the electricity consumed by residential premises. It does not include electricity used in common areas in some apartment buildings.

Small substations connect homes and businesses with major substations. These distribution substations convert higher voltages to the level needed for use in the home and can be located on poles or in streets. This number shows how many new distribution substations were built and started supplying power.

This is the length of 11,000 Volt cable installed underground. 11,000 Volt cable typically connects our major substations with smaller, street-side substations.
Crews conduct routine and spot inspections and repairs on electrical assets. We do these on a cyclical basis by asset type and not in accordance with geographic boundaries, such as local government area. The number includes inspections of major substations and the equipment and systems inside them as well as power pole and powerline inspections. It also includes preemptive and reactive repairs to streetlights.
