Power update - Thursday 3 July 7:00am

Endeavour Energy continues to implement its emergency response plans to repair storm damage storm and safely restore power as quickly as possible.

At its peak, the storm interrupted supply to nearly 30,000 homes and businesses, with wind gusts reaching up to 125 km/h in some areas causing over 400 electrical hazards.

Today, our focus is on safely restoring supply to the remaining 2,984 customers, who are spread across a wide area, including parts of the Shoalhaven, Southern Highlands, and isolated pockets across Western Sydney and the lower Blue Mountains.

If you know of vulnerable or critical customers still without power where we may not be aware of them, please call us on 131 003.

We thank our customers for their patience, resilience, and continued understanding. Our crews remain on the ground and will continue working to safely restore power to everyone.
