STELCO has shared a map highlighting the affected areas in Malé but cautioned that other parts of Malé and Hulhumalé may also experience disruptions during this period.
The outages are due to maintenance work being conducted on a 132KV high-voltage substation in Hulhumalé Phase 2. STELCO apologised for any inconvenience caused and assured the public that the upgrades are aimed at enhancing the reliability of the power supply.
