EFL hoping to restore power fully to all parts of Fiji by Thursday

Energy Fiji Limited says they are hoping to restore power fully to all parts of Fiji by Thursday.

EFL CEO, Hasmukh Patel says they have released tentative restoration times for areas around the country still without power due to fallen power poles, fallen power lines and damage to other power infrastructure.

Patel stresses that these timelines are tentative and subject to change due to the weather condition, access to affected areas and the extent of damage to the power network. He says one thing about their line of work is any short cuts or errors can lead to serious injuries or even fatality. He says due to COVID-19 lockdown in the greater Suva Area there are some widespread areas that only have small teams working to restore power. He adds they have deployed contractors,who are trying to repair the power lines and help EFL in expediting the restoration work.
