CEO of Energy Fiji Limited, Hasmukh Patel.

People should expect disruptions in power supply by tomorrow into Friday as Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Yasa continues to head towards Fiji.

CEO of Energy Fiji Limited, Hasmukh Patel says the restoration process and time taken will depend on the extent of the damages caused by the system as it took them 7 months to restore power after TC Winston which cost $35 million.

Patel says the survey on the extent of damage will be carried out using a helicopter immediately after the system passes Fiji.

He says they will first restore power to the health centres and hospitals and then they will focus on water pumping stations. They will then focus on the city area and then the residential areas.

If they see any broken power lines, please call them on 913 to report it.
