DAMAGING WINDS – Illawarra and Southern Highlands

Crews have restored power to around 5,000 customers impacted by strong winds across the Illawarra overnight. Restoration efforts continue today, with power expected to return to remaining customers in the #Beaumont, #Jamberoo, #Jerrara, and #SaddlebackMountain areas.

We expect wind gusts up to 100km/h to across the Illawarra and Southern Highlands, continuing into the evening and following days. Our crews are on standby to keep communities safe and restore power as quickly as possible.
