🌟 **ElectraNet at the University of Adelaide Careers Expo** 🌟 ElectraNet recently had the opportunity to attend and engage with future STEM professionals at the University of Adelaide Careers Expo. We had meaningful conversations with engineering students and others from various STEM disciplines about the exciting internship and graduate opportunities at ElectraNet. We are passionate about shaping the future of clean energy and are always looking for innovative minds to join us in driving positive change. A big thank you to all the students who visited our booth! We’re excited about the next generation of talent and the potential for collaboration. On Wednesday we’ll be attending the STEM Women Graduate Careers Event at the Adelaide Convention Centre. We’re looking forward to meeting and engaging with the talented women in STEM and discussing how you can contribute to our dynamic team.

Transmission services were restored to the Yorke Peninsula overnight following yesterday’s outage. ElectraNet understands the frustration felt by the impacted parts of the Yorke Peninsula community and thanks them for their patience as our crews worked to restore services as quickly as possible. ElectraNet regrets the impact to the families and businesses as a result of the unplanned power outage. Work to repair the damage began as soon as it was safe to do so and continued until transmission services were restored on Friday night. Friday’s outages were caused by extended dry conditions and the accumulation of dust and salt combined with fog conditions on Friday morning. The network experienced multiple trips which resulted in damage at the Hummocks substation. ElectraNet routinely monitors the network and proactively plans and undertakes maintenance activities to address identified risks such as the accumulation of dust and salt. While the immediate damage has now been repaired, the ongoing build up of dust and salt on transmission equipment will remain a challenge to reliable operation until good rain settles the dust and washes the equipment. In the interim, ElectraNet will continue to deploy alternative targeted measures to mitigate the risk of further outages.

ElectraNet experienced multiple faults on the transmission network this morning impacting power supply to the Yorke Peninsula. ElectraNet routinely monitors the network to identify factors that may negatively impact the network and proactively plans and undertakes maintenance activities to address identified risks as required. Due to extended dry conditions and the accumulation of dust and salt combined with fog conditions this morning, the network experienced multiple trips. When moisture levels rise, such as during morning dew, the accumulation of dust and salt can lead to power disruptions. This has resulted in some damage at the Hummocks substation. While the substation is off and the damage is being repaired, additional maintenance has been undertaken to minimise the need for separate future outages. Work to repair the damage is well underway but detailed inspections revealed more damage than originally thought delaying restoration. It is anticipated that transmission services will be restored at approximately 8:00pm.
