⚡ Power outage update – Mildura | 11:30am, 22 September 2026
Powercor crews are continuing to inspect properties impacted by the power outage caused by a vehicle crashing into a pole yesterday morning.
The crash resulted in a ‘high voltage injection’. Due to the nature of this fault, a Licenced Electrical Inspector may need to attend properties to complete safety checks. Because of this, restoration could take a number of days as our inspectors work as safely and as quickly as possible through impacted properties. Access will be required to electricity meters to complete these tests.
☕ Need a break or somewhere to charge your phone?
Drop by our relief centre at the Alfred Deakin Centre, 180-190 Deakin Avenue, Mildura. Our emergency response vehicle is on site with free coffee, water, snacks, and phone/device charging. Our team is also there in person for updates and assistance.
📱 We'll continue sending updates via text message.
Thanks to everyone for your patience. Our crews are working as safely and as quickly as possible to get everyone back on.
