ECG expressed its regret for any inconvenience caused and appealed to the public for patience and understanding as the company works to improve the stability and performance of the power supply system.
Response to Recent Weather-Related Outages
The company also acknowledged recent power outages triggered by severe rainstorms and strong winds, which resulted in damaged electrical infrastructure, including fallen trees, collapsed billboards, and ripped roofs affecting power lines.
