Power outages across parts of Cromwell are keeping repair crews busy.


Three generators were used to power three transformers after an underground cable fault caused a power outage in the town's Antimony Cr area.



An Aurora Energy spokesperson said there were about 70 customers who relied on each transformer.


Power was restored to those customers just after 10pm yesterday.



“We thank all customers who were impacted for their patience while our contractors worked to repair the fault.”


According to the Aurora Energy website, another power outage in Cromwell’s Ripponvale area is affecting 68 customers in Ord, Ripponvale and Ritchies Rds.



Power is estimated to be restored to those residents at 12pm today.


That outage initially affected 754 customers, but power has been restored to a large portion of those households.
