The Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority (EDSA) issued a public notice on September 23, 2024, informing residents of a significant power outage affecting multiple areas.

Early that morning, network operators reported a loud noise from the 33kV incomer transformer at Wilberforce, which led to a disruption in the power supply along the 33kV distribution line.

As a result, the following areas are currently experiencing power cuts:

Part of Wilberforce

Regent Village

Bathurst

Spur Road

Entire Lumley

Goderich and the Peninsula

In response to the outage, EDSA management is working closely with the project line construction team to mobilize necessary materials for immediate repairs and maintenance.

The Authority expressed its sincere apologies to affected customers for the inconvenience caused by the power disruption and thanked them for their patience and understanding during this time.

EDSA is committed to restoring power as quickly as possible and will provide updates as repairs progress.
