ECG explained that the scheduled interruptions form part of its ongoing efforts to undertake essential maintenance on its electricity distribution infrastructure and strengthen the reliability of power supply to customers.
The company has apologised to residents, businesses and institutions expected to be affected, appealing for their understanding and cooperation while the maintenance operations are carried out.
The planned outages mean that households, commercial establishments, educational institutions and other electricity dependent facilities within the affected communities may need to make alternative arrangements to minimise disruptions to their daily activities during the specified periods.
Customers are therefore encouraged to plan ahead, particularly businesses and institutions whose operations depend heavily on uninterrupted electricity supply.
