Powercor told the Courier crews worked to restore power to 26 premises, which were reconnected by Wednesday, January 14.

As well as the power pole replacement, some cabling and infrastructure was replaced.

Powercor had about 200 field workers working in the fire zones over the past two weeks.

The worst-affected areas for power supply were Ravenswood and Harcourt.

Reconnecting private properties

If your property has been disconnected or affected by fire or water, you will need a registered electrical contractor:

Search by location through Energy Safe Victoria at: esv.vic.gov.au/licensing-coes/public-register-and-searches/
The electrician will complete a safety and compliance inspection
Once any repairs are done they will issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety to us (at info@powercor.com.au)
They’ll arrange the reconnection of your power through us by phoning 1300 360 410.

Powercor will be waiving reconnection fees for properties affected by these bushfires.
