Haven't had any power since 3pm yesterday...
And Energex have an estimated time of 'by' 10.30am tomorrow...
Needless to say all the fridge and freezer food will go off, but wondering can you claim from Energex for loss of food? ...

At least you know 200,000 other homes in SE QLD that are also Energex customer are sharing your pain.
Some wild weather you guys get up there.
Hope it calms down for you all soon.

We had our electricity go off for over 24 hours a couple of years ago. Etsa had to pay everyone compensation. It was different depending on how long. We got something like $320. They had three months to pay it, and funnily enough, it took them exactly that, not a day sooner. They paid it automatically to the person who's name the electricity account was in.
I'm guessing this will also apply to you.

Last lot of floods (Jan 2011) the government gave everyone who had lost power/water for 48 hours plus some cash to cover loss of food etc. I don't think Energex can be responsible for natural disasters.
Hope it comes back on fast for you.

Power has been out for longer than normal in the south because the wind made it too dangerous for crews to work.

It might pay to have a look at your home and contents insurance policy to see if you are covered for spoilage.
For further reading......http://www.energex.com.au/residentia...-lodge-a-claim. This seems only to cover damage to appliances as there is no mention of food spoilage.

It will be interesting to see if the little dictator will match it seeing he claims Qld can't afford to spend any money.

CanDo, Gillard and Abbott in the same room as it is crushed by a tree, hit by a tornado and flash flooded all at once would be lovely.
