Power outages and faults

If your power has gone out, or there’s an electrical or natural gas fault or failure, you’ll need to contact your local electricity or gas distributor.

Your distributor is responsible for the supply of energy to your property, including the poles and wires, gas pipes and connections.

Your electricity or gas distributor details will depend on your area. You can find the 24-hour assistance number for your distributor at the top of your Simply Energy bill.
