Compensation for Generator Hire During Planned Power Outages
Essential Energy will be conducting planned maintenance or upgrades on the electricity network in the Uralla Shire on November 26 2023. This will result in power outages for over 4,000 homes/businesses.
If your business is affected by a planned power outage, you may be eligible for compensation for the reasonable hire-only cost of a generator (ex GST). Please note that all other associated costs, including transport, connection, disconnection, and fuel, are the responsibility of the customer.
To be eligible for compensation, your business must:
- Be located in the Uralla Shire
- Be affected by a planned power outage
- Have a valid ABN
- Be able to provide a copy of a quote from a generator hire company
If you believe you are eligible for compensation, please contact Essential Energy on 13 23 91 and request assistance, quoting reference number 487875.
Please be aware that any compensation received may have taxation implications depending on individual circumstances. As such, we encourage businesses to seek independent taxation advice. Additionally, business customers that are registered for GST will receive compensation for the hire costs only, exclusive of GST.
We appreciate your understanding and apologise for any inconvenience caused by the planned power outages.
