Electricity on the Bass Strait Islands is provided by Hydro Tasmania. As part of Hydro Group, Momentum looks after the retail side of things – your bills, organising your connections and customer care.

For questions about generation or distribution, contact Hydro Tasmania.
All emergencies and faults should be reported to TasNetworks by calling 13 2004, 24 hours a day. Hydro Tasmania doesn’t have a dedicated 24-hour call centre service, so TasNetworks currently receives fault information on our behalf.
If you’re moving into or out of a property, all you need to do is give us a call on 1300 662 778.
