Australian Capital Territory Power Outages

Australia has no open live feed, so the quickest way to check Australian Capital Territory is the official outage map from Evoenergy.

Evoenergy is the only distributor, serving 220,364 customers over about 2,000 square kilometres. It recorded 41.77 unplanned minutes and 0.51 unplanned interruptions per customer in 2024-25, and its planning report says benchmark data puts it among the most reliable Australian distributors. Asset failures were the leading cause of unplanned outages in 2025, ahead of trees and vegetation. Evoenergy's outage page shows a live count of current outages and customers affected across Canberra.
