In expectation of a hot summer ahead, the A$160 million works program that was announced in April this year has already been increased by a further A$26 million of commitment to assist with specific summer preparation programs such as summer aerial patrolling.
Lew Owens, CEO of ETSA Utilities, said that summer always has the company on high-alert, and that it organizes additional available crews and work programs to better manage the issues created by extended periods of high temperatures and bushfires.
Mr Owens said: This makes summer a critical period for ETSA Utilities. For us, it is about minimizing the risk of supply interruptions and maximizing our abilities to tackle effectively any potential issues before they arise.
