Winds cut power to thousands in NSW

ABOUT 8700 homes west, south west and north of Sydney are without power, with wind gusts of up to 70km/h bringing branches down on powerlines.

Endeavour Energy on Thursday advised members of the public to stay well clear of fallen powerlines.

It has also advised residents in Lithgow, where a bushfire is burning, that it might need to isolate parts of its network as the fire passes through.

Customers who need electricity for life support equipment have been contacted.

"Our aim is not to panic our customers but to give them plenty of time to make alternative arrangements," it said.

In the Blue Mountains, power has been cut to about 4500 homes and businesses in Katoomba, Winmalee and parts of Leura, Blackheath and Mt Victoria.

In the Macarthur region, crews are working to restore power to about 1600 homes and businesses.

The worst affected areas at this stage are Wilton, Menangle and parts of Campbelltown.

In the Hawkesbury, strong wind has interrupted electricity supply to 1300 homes along the Hawkesbury River from Lower Portland and Maroota to St Albans.

Fallen powerlines can be reported by calling 131 003.
