Not just two. There's also the Darwin/Katherine system which serves about 150k customers. The NWIS and Alice Springs system both have 20k+ customers. Australia has some really interesting power systems.
- ggm 6y agoSorry I didn't capture that. I bet the NT gets better service outcomes than either WA or east coast, sooner (because more focussed)
- justatdotin 6y agothere's issues with decades of one provider also owning the infra. It got split up in recent years, but we've yet to see new providers connected. in the top end, fruitbats and cyclonic storms are common disruptions its got better in the suburbs since lotsa wires went underground, but just a few km down the highway and the grade of service drops.
