Update 28: Electrical Trades Union Protected Industrial Action at Essential Energy

The Electrical Trades Union (ETU) has notified Essential Energy of further proposed industrial action commencing on Thursday 12 December 2024 till Tuesday 17 December 2024.

Potential Impacts

The planned industrial action is likely to create unavoidable disruptions for ASPs, contractors and customers through the possible postponement of planned work. ASPs will receive notice of planned work being postponed on the morning of the job. Notice will be provided through a phone call or email that morning.

Any job that is postponed will need to be resubmitted via the Essential Connection Portal. For projects not being administered via the Essential Connections Portal, you will need to complete and submit a ‘Request for Planned Outage’ form CEOP6013 via contestableworks@essentialenergy.com.au.
