Powering a bright future

TasNetworks is a State-Government owned corporation responsible for planning, building, operating, and maintaining Tasmania’s electricity transmission and distribution networks. We deliver safe, sustainable and reliable electricity to more than 300,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers.

Our operations and people span the entire state of Tasmania, and our services help power the lives of our customers and communities.

We are the key link between electricity generators and electricity consumers. We sit at the heart of the energy system, running the electricity network safely and efficiently while also enabling Tasmania to move towards a renewable energy future.

We’re part of the National Electricity Market (NEM) and regulated under the National Electricity Rules (NER) by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER).

TasNetworks is committed to engaging in a way that is meaningful for our stakeholders and business, by embedding engagement in everything we do.

Every project is different, involving various levels of engagement used to collaborate with our community.

We draw on a range of mechanisms to engage our stakeholders and the community, including:

  • Consultation with established working groups
  • Targeted consultation with representative groups or individuals
  • Research and an insights program through surveys, focus groups and meetings
  • A range of digital engagement methods through a newly developed platform
  • Cross-business Internal community engagement working group
  • Attendance at state-wide events, giving out stakeholder’s direct access to engage with us

  • Would like to know when Tas networks are going to come back and take away steel droppers, orange safety fence, board and fill in hole as a pole is not going to be replaced. This was first done before 10th October, then the job was deferred until 28th November. Weeds around it are 2 feet long and look terrible. Job is at 33 Alberta Street, Latrobe 7307 …. Thank you

  • Yesterday morning my homer was hit with a power surge at approximately 730am. My printer has been damaged and does not work now as a result of this surge. Who do I speak to about compensation?

  • Are TasNetwork Employees to inform Commercial premises when visiting sites?

    Greg asked over 1 year ago

    Hi Greg. TasNetworks may need to enter private residential and commercial premises for meter reads, asset inspections, planned works, or emergency unplanned works, just to name a few. It does depend on the situation as to whether TasNetworks is able to provide prior warning to the property owner. 

    If you would like this issue investigated further, I can ask a member of our customer advocacy team to contact you to discuss? Please let me know your best contact details by emailing us at engage@tasnetworks.com.au - thank you.

  • How do I inform Tas networks of a dangerous tree near a power line?

    Sam asked about 4 years ago

    Hi Sam, 

    Thanks for your question. Please contact our 24 hour faults and emergency line on 132004 to report any dangerous situations involving our infrastructure.

    Cheers

    Jacqui
