Western Power Outage Advice
We have received a letter from Western Power (Ref ENAR 615604) informing us of a planned power outage affecting most of Nannup as follows:
Start time: Monday, 23 February 2026 at 8:00 PM
End time: Tuesday, 24 February 2026 at 3:00 AM
* Please inform anyone else who may be impacted by the planned outage, i.e. tenants
They aim to keep outages as short as possible, but unexpected issues may extend the time your power is off. The start time is estimated commencement of works—your power will not be turned off before this, but it may take up to 1–2 hours to switch off all properties.
Please Note:
Life Support Customers – Key Points
- We will phone you to confirm you received this notification.
- To opt out of the follow‑up call, phone 13 10 87.
- Ensure you have enough backup supply or alternative arrangements for your life support equipment during the outage.
- If you have concerns or need assistance, call 13 10 87.
Preparation Tips
- Cordless and NBN phones won’t work without power—have an alternative phone available.
- Unplug sensitive appliances (computers, TVs) to protect them from power fluctuations when power is restored.
- Turn off electric heaters and air conditioners before the outage.
- Set your fridge/freezer to the coldest setting.
- Check that your solar system turns back on after the outage—not all inverters restart automatically.
- Know how to operate automatic garage doors or gates manually, or park your car outside.
- Leave a light on to indicate when power is restored.
- Alarm systems, lifts, and escalators may not operate and may require reprogramming after power returns.
- If you don’t have a backup battery, consider consulting your service provider or using a generator.
- Reticulation timers may need resetting after the outage.
Business Customers – Key Points
- Consider scheduling maintenance to coincide with the outage.
- If continuous power is essential, consider investing in a backup power system.
- Switch off sensitive electronic equipment before the outage.
- Test backup systems: batteries, emergency lighting, phones, security, and fire protection systems.
- Back up all computer systems and data.
- For help with planning, call 13 10 87 and quote the eNAR reference number.
