Tuesday morning’s blackout across the South Burnett was triggered by safety equipment cutting in.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said Ergon Energy Network and Energex were carrying out work on a substation in the Kingaroy area to increase the network capacity for future large-scale solar generation and improved network reliability when safety protection equipment was activated.<\/p>\n

This caused an outage that lasted for about one hour from 10:20am.<\/p>\n

The outage affected about 21,000 customers in Nanango and Kingaroy and other areas fed from the substation.<\/p>\n

About 6000 customers in the Nanango area had their power restored about 11:00am and the remainder around Kingaroy about 11:20am.<\/p>\n

Earlier:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ergon Energy technicians are tracing a fault which suddenly cut power to about 20,000 homes and businesses across the South Burnett on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said the power was lost about 10:20am.<\/p>\n

The area affected stretched from Cooyar to Blackbutt and west to Monogorilby.<\/p>\n

The Ergon spokesperson said power was restored first to Nanango and then after some manual switching, to Kingaroy.<\/p>\n
