Mr Summers said affected customers have been notified in advance.
"Significant planning has been undertaken to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible, including bringing in crews and equipment from nearby depots, to help complete the works," Mr Summers said.
"We appreciate that planned power outages may cause inconvenience for some customers, but they are vital to ensure a safe and reliable power network for these communities."
Mr Summers said the scheduled works are reliant on suitable weather conditions and may be postponed if the conditions are unfavourable or any unforeseen circumstances arise.
