Thanks to the Essential Energy crews

Dear Editor

In recent months Barraba has had some power outages – some planned and some unplanned.  Whilst inconvenient, the latest outage commenced at approx. 6pm and power was returned at approx. 4am next morning. During that time there was a severe electrical storm in Barraba and the wider area.

Whilst I get frustrated with the delay I fully appreciate the Essential Energy crews work under adverse and sometimes dangerous conditions and that they need to adhere to stringent safety rules is important. They are on-call 24/7 and respond accordingly and I wish to thank them for their work.

Peter Coleman, Barraba
