The Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority (EDSA) has announced unexpected power outages affecting several communities in the Western Area. The blackouts have impacted residents in Wilberforce, Regent, Lumley, and Goderich, disrupting evening routines and causing concern among locals.
According to EDSA, the outages were triggered by a sudden power surge on the 33kV network distribution lines. This surge led to a series of faults that cut off electricity to these key areas.
In a positive development, EDSA has identified the fault and assured the public that repairs and maintenance will begin in the early hours of Saturday, August 10th. The authority expects that power supply to the affected communities will be fully restored once these repairs are completed.
“We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this unexpected outage,” stated EDSA in a public notice. “We understand the critical importance of reliable electricity and are working diligently to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.”
The utility provider also expressed gratitude to its customers for their patience and understanding during this period of disruption. They encouraged residents to stay informed by following EDSA’s updates on social media and to report any further issues.
For real-time updates or to report additional problems, residents are advised to contact EDSA directly by calling 672 or reaching out via their Facebook page at [https://www.facebook.com/EDSASalone] (https://www.facebook.com/EDSASalone).
EDSA remains committed to ensuring a swift resolution to the power outage and minimizing future disruptions as they continue to maintain and upgrade the electricity distribution network.
