Is the Power Out?

Whether TasNetworks has an outage listed that covers Stanley right now — what it affects, what the crew is doing and when they expect the power back, plus the rest of the North-West.

About these tools

Town Tools builds free, public tools for Stanley and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.

If your power is off and it isn’t listed here

This page only shows what TasNetworks already knows about. A fault nobody has reported yet does not appear here, and neither does anything on your own side of the meter — a tripped switch, a blown fuse, a problem in one house. If Stanley is dark and this page is quiet, that is a reason to ring it in, not a reason to wait.

If someone in the house needs power for medical equipment

Households on life-support equipment can register, so the network knows and gives notice before planned work. It does not stop faults, so keep a plan for a long outage as well.

TasNetworks — life support

Register through your electricity retailer or TasNetworks. Registered addresses get at least four business days' written notice before planned work, and if the power goes off unexpectedly, say you are a life support customer when you ring.

Where this comes from

TasNetworks owns the poles, wires and transformers across Tasmania, whoever you buy your electricity from — so this is the list whatever your bill says on it. Their North-West region is large: it runs from Devonport across to Circular Head and down the west coast, so an outage listed there can be two hours' drive from Stanley. One thing this list is not: a schedule of work still to come. It shows what is out now, including planned work already under way. Notice of future planned work comes in writing, and in April 2026 Stanley businesses said a full day's outage arrived without any.
