On 1 September 2017 the Electricity Safety Act 1998 was amended to include section 120P.

This requires affected Major Electricity Companies to provide a report to ESV by 1 August each year. The reports relate to regulated safety programs that will reduce the risk of their networks starting bushfires. Reports must include details of all works performed over the past reporting period and all planned works for the next reporting period.

The reporting period is from 1 May ending 30 April in the following calendar year. Follow the links below to the reports of all affected Major Electricity Companies.
