Here in Ainslie we lost power for a few minutes around 1pm.
Now I’m hearing Dickson was hit too.
Anyone else?

been trynig to mention it – LOL, but so far after 5 posts being eaten… bog it. We lost power in Symonston/Fyshwick from about 11ish – 12:45pm or so.
Appeared initially to be isolated to here, and was told it happens regularly… but may be connected. was told by ACTEWAGL that 2 out of 3 phases to the area were blown. Came back on the single phase for a bit – fairly reduced (sag) power though… lost some systems in the process across multiple buildings…Yep, work was stuffed around a bit too. That reduced power was weird. The halogen lights in the office were at 50% of power and the fluros were out. Computers were working fine, for a bit, but no joy from the router. Then we eventually lost everything.
hmm, same. things are coming online again now – but still very annoyingly slow… was hilarious watching people going into the toilets with torches and stuff… 🙂

All clear from O’Connor. Everything was working as normal when I got home.
Jognboy, we lost power at 12.30, decided it wasn’t worth waiting and went to the pub instead.
Maybe ACTEW/AGL should spend less money on those ads that imply how good they are and actually just BE good!
I know, I know it completely defies logic and reason but it would be nice.
What this town needs is a power station.
I hear there’s a good spot near the tip…
It is extremely unlikely that it had anything to do with demand. I would bet good money that it was a transient fault tripping the circuit breaker on a single feeder out of Civic East zone sub, with the power restored when the breaker was reset minutes later. The Actew network isn’t running at anything like capacity – if there’s demand issues it will be widespread across NSW/ACT/VIC.
Every year there’ll be more air conditioners, and every year this’ll be a problem if ACTEW fail to predict the increased demand.
