Bushfire mitigation
We are committed to operating our network in full compliance
with the requirements of the Act and Regulations administered by
Energy Safe Victoria (ESV).
Due to prevailing weather conditions and country environments
conducive to bushfires, we acknowledge the need to act proactively
in designing and operating our assets to minimise the possibility
of a bushfire ignition.
Being an authority in the distribution of electricity and gas in
our region, we acknowledge our responsibility to the local
community to consider all relevant practical technologies available
to minimise bushfire risk.
We will mitigate bushfire risk to the community and the
environment from our assets by instilling the following:
- Use of skilled people and modern technology
- Continued development and improvement of methods of
environmental management of fire safe distribution assets
- Implementation of training standards to provide the 'best
practice' management of vegetation
- Provision of excellent and responsive customer service.
