“Please be informed that the power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss of supply from the national grid at 11:23 hrs today, affecting electricity supply across our franchise areas,” the statement read.
AEDC assured customers that it is working with relevant stakeholders to ensure that power is restored as soon as the grid stabilises.
