Interconnector repairs delayed due to bad weather, severe weather warning in place for SA


South Australia is still isolated from the national energy grid, with repairs to a transmission tower at the interconnector delayed by more bad weather — and further damaging winds are expected today.


The tower near Tailem Bend was damaged during a severe storm last weekend that saw infrastructure badly damaged and more than 160,000 properties lose power.


The interconnector was expected to be restored by Sunday night but a vigorous cold front over the weekend delayed the repair works further.


Transmission company ElectraNet said the state should be reconnected to the grid by tomorrow.
