PHUKET: At 10am tomorrow (Dec 4), Phuket’s high-voltage mains power supply from the mainland will be switched over from the old 115kV supply the island has been relying on for years to the new network that can support up to 500kV.

 

Boonthum Charoenpong, Manager of the Phuket branch of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), explained that the mains supply will be increased from 115kV to 230kV tomorrow.

 

“There is no need to worry. The switchover will not cause any harm or affect electrical appliances in houses or businesses,” Mr Boonthum said.
