Operations Manager Riverina Slopes, Shawn Eade said the planned power outage will affect 75 customers in Cowra.
"Essential Energy provides advanced notice to any customers affected by a planned power outage so they can make alternative arrangements," he said.
"Customers are encouraged to have a contingency plan and employ this plan when power supplies are impacted, either for planned work or as a result of faults and emergencies."
Tips to remember during planned power outages:
- You can help protect sensitive electrical appliances, such as computers, by switching them off and unplugging them before the planned outage time.
- If you rely on an electric pumping system for your household water supply, make sure you store enough water for your needs while the power is off.
- Switch off stove hotplates, ovens and any other small appliances in case you're not home when power is restored, and avoid opening your fridge or freezer while the power is off.
- There should be no need to turn off solar inverters - they should automatically turn off and back on.
- Essential Energy may provide information via SMS when appropriate. To enable Essential Energy to contact you about future planned work, please check with your electricity retailer and ensure that your address, phone and email details are correct..
