Brisbane Storms

Brisbane Storms and the affects to your energy supply

You may not know it...

Most blackouts have nothing to do with the supply of electricity (be it coal, gas, wind or solar).

According to the Climate Council blackouts are usually caused by-:

• storms
• fallen trees
• vehicle impacts
• bushfires
• lightning strikes
• heatwaves
• birds and possums

What happens to your NBN in a storm?

If you are connected to the National Broadband Network (NBN), be aware that if your power is interrupted, your telephone and internet services over the nbn™ network are unlikely to work. Electronic equipment will need its own separate battery backup to work.
