Network Outage Review
As extreme weather events continue to increase, it is imperative that Victorians’ access to essential services is protected and prioritised by Government, regulators and industry.
Consumer Action Law Centre strongly supports the Panels’ recommendations in this report and affirm the important roles that the Essential Services Commission (ESC), the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) and the Victorian Government have in ensuring that Victorian communities are protected against, and provided ongoing support to recover from, outage events.
We submit that the Victorian Government, the ESC and the energy distribution and retail industries prioritise the proposed solutions of the Interim Report.
