Tasmania Power Outages
Australia has no open live feed, so the quickest way to check Tasmania is the official outage map from TasNetworks.
TasNetworks, owned by the state, runs both the transmission and distribution networks and links to Victoria through the Basslink subsea cable. Hydro supplied 71.8 per cent of generation in 2025. Long radial rural lines tend to have more frequent and longer outages. A series of cold fronts in late August and early September 2024 caused 1,062 outages affecting nearly 217,000 customers and $9.2 million in guaranteed service payments.
