A major power outage is set to affect a large part of southern Phuket Town tomorrow, as confirmed by the Provincial Electricity Authority of Phuket (PEA Phuket). The power cuts will be from 9 am to 4.30 pm and are part of regular maintenance work by the power company.

 

To minimize the impact on local businesses and residents, PEA Phuket will have power cuts every 30 minutes during the day. The main area affected will be from Bang Neow Intersection east to Nimit Circle, near Phuket Grocery store, going south to the waterfront and back across to Phuket Vocational College near Saphan Hin.

 

Several streets will also experience power cuts - from Bang Neow Intersection to Phuket Vocational College, including Soi Saen Suk 1, 2, Soi Rong Lek, Takua Thung Rd, Soi Ton Pho, Soi Ko Phai, and Soi Saphan Hin. Notably, Phuket Immigration will also have a power outage.

 

At the same time, power interruptions will occur along Ong Sim Pai Road from Bang Neow Intersection to Nimit Circle in front of Phuket Grocery, and from there to Charan Ironworks shop. The power disturbance will also spread along Kra Rd, from Bang Niao Intersection to Kor Chan Bridge.

 

PEA Phuket has offered apologies for the inconvenience and provided several ways for people to ask about the power outage. These include their phone line at 076-210427-8, the official Facebook page, and the PEA hotline at 1129.

 

In another update, PEA Thalang also confirmed a power outage from 9 am to 5 pm tomorrow in Baan Para, Moo 4, Pa Khlok, to allow for repairs and maintenance work on the local low-voltage network. For more details, people are encouraged to contact the PEA Thalang office at 076-386882 or call the PEA hotline 1129.

Why during the working day - more sensible between (say) 01.00 and 05.00 

Wow that's a big outage. Don't open your freezers or go get some ice. 

 

We've been experiencing brown outs in Non Thai.  Completely random usually around midnight for between 15 to 30 minutes. 

 

Cocks up your sleep as the fans switch off and sweat switches on.  Very difficult to sleep. 

 

Hopefully they sort out your guys problems quickly. 

 

Currently 42.5 degrees here... Dammit
