Student resources

Online education resource website

Whether you're a student, a teacher or just curious, take advantange of our interactive online education resource website at helpsavetheplanet.com.au.

The interactive power and water cycles explain, in simple terms, how electricity is generated in the Territory and where drinking water comes from. The site includes online resources for students and teachers to use at home or at school, such as online games and quizzes, desktop wallpapers, information sheets and colouring-in sheets. These can be downloaded and printed as well.

School visits to our facilities

All Power and Water sites are operational workplaces, with occupational health and safety considerations. However in some cases it is possible to arrange school visits to sites. Depending on our workload, some of our professional staff are available to come to schools to make presentations about our operations. Call 1800 245 092 to make further enquiries.

Resource conservation program – Remote Operations

Power and Water has developed a comprehensive program to educate remote communities about the use and conservation of water and electricity. The team have developed materials for presentation to community council clerks, housing groups, resource centre's, traditional owners (men’s and women’s groups), health clinics and schools. This education program continues with priority across the Northern Territory – communities can contact Remote Operations for more information on 08 8924 5194.

Maps of our operations

There are four maps on our site. They show how widespread our operations are and how they are not interconnected, as in other places in Australia. You can see a map of the Northern Territory’s electricity supply, water supply, sewerage services and indigenous essential services.

Glossary

There are many words in the electricity and water industries that are not easy to understand. Read our glossary to help out.
