Brighton Network Improvement

Throughout 2023, we carried out a large work programme for the Brighton area, which is now complete.

Project Overview

To reduce the impact on our customers, this project has been split into three sections. The first section was completed in June, to help minimise the likelihood of unplanned outages occurring during the colder months. The remaining two sections were completed over an eight-week period in October and November 2023. This work will benefit the 1,500 customers in the Brighton and East Taieri Mouth community.
