Electric power

Yerranderie is entirely off grid and powered by solar panels. This means that there is just enough power for all essential electronics. Please don’t plug in any appliances that are not provided in your accommodation (hairdryers, toasters, kettles etc.). This can draw too much power from the power grid, leading to blackouts.

Only use the power points to charge phones, laptops or to use the provided appliances.
