Ergon Energy is reassuring Far North Queensland communities affected by Tropical Cyclone Imogen that crews from across the region are ready to respond to any power outages as soon as weather permits.

With dozens of anchors and hundreds of metres of anchor rope retrieved from just one high-voltage underwater cable recently, Ergon Energy and Energex are urging boaties to be aware of electricity infrastructure crossing Queensland’s waterways.

In a major boost to the security of Magnetic Island’s electricity supply, Ergon Energy has re-energised one of two submarine cables supplying the community after extensive repairs.
