When a tree falls on powerlines - How we manage the network

Find out how we manage outages and fix the power when a tree falls on powerlines. We minimise the risk as much as we can with a year-round vegetation management plan, but sometimes, a tree or branch falls onto the network from outside the legislated clearance zone. When this happens, we restore the power as quickly as is safely possible for our customers.
