Thousands of Fijians in the Central Division are without power supply since about 10.15 this morning and Energy Fiji Limited is unsure when supply will be fully restored.

EFL says they have started to restore supply however, many areas remain without power.

CEO Hasmukh Patel says two hydro gensets at Wailoa Power Station have gone offline for some reason.

He says they are trying to establish why this has happened but are using other generating stations to restore power supply.
