Power Outages

A sudden power outage can be alarming — but the cause isn't always the same, and the fix depends on where the fault sits. Sydney Power Group (SPG) responds 24/7 across Greater Sydney to diagnose outages fast and restore your power safely.

As a Level 2 ASP, we can determine whether the problem is on the network side (the energy provider's supply) or the property side (your consumer mains, switchboard or wiring) — and we can act on both.

Partial vs Total Outage

A partial outage — where some circuits work and others don't — usually points to a tripped circuit, a faulty appliance, or a problem inside your switchboard. A total outage where nothing works may be a main switch trip, a consumer mains fault, or a loss of supply from the network.

A quick first check: look outside. If your neighbours and the street are also dark, it's likely a network outage affecting the area. If it's just your property, the fault is more likely on your side — and that's where SPG can help.

Network Side vs Property Side

When the fault is on the network — a damaged service line, pole or supply issue — it needs a Level 2 ASP to coordinate and carry out authorised work. SPG liaises directly with Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy so nothing falls through the cracks.

When the fault is on your property, we carry out safe isolation, fault finding, and repairs — including no power to house situations and power restorations after a disconnection.
