Phuket to face power cuts for PEA Thalang’s system enhancements

[snoop1130]

 

The Thalang division of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA Thalang) issued a statement declaring two separate power interruptions planned for tomorrow. The blackouts are reported to impact both residences and businesses in the areas of Bang Tao and Pa Khlok, Phuket.

 

The Bang Tao power cut, specifically in the region of Cherng Talay, is scheduled from 9am through to 4.30pm. This interruption in service allows work to enhance the low-voltage power distribution system, according to the PEA of Thalang. Furthermore, the outage is an opportunity for workers to relocate a transformer required for the power supply of Stone Bitter Co Ltd.

 

As per the PEA’s description, the disruption will occur in front of the Hilton Garden Inn Phuket Bang Tao. However, a closer look at the map provided by PEA Thalang indicates the area to be impacted is essentially along Soi Cherng Talay 16, located behind the Boat Avenue shopping complex.

 

PEA Thalang further specified that the power outage would commence just north of the Sai Taan Housing estate before moving along the road towards Oceanstone Condominium. The official announcement did not include a list of adjoining areas that could potentially be affected by the power interruption.
