Summary
A major blackout hit the Goldfields region around 9:30 AM, plunging towns like Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Kambalda, and Coolgardie into darkness due to a fault on a key 220kV power line. Western Power is investigating and has begun activating backup generators at West Kalgoorlie Terminal, with power restoration happening gradually over several hours. Local facilities including the William Grundt Memorial Library were forced to close, but by 11 AM, some areas in Kalgoorlie-Boulder were already back online as crews work to restore full service.
