Energy Fiji Limited is currently working on restoring the power supply in the greater Labasa area, following a fire that broke out last night in one of its larger thermal generating sets at the Cawaira Power Station.
In a statement, EFL Chief Executive Hasmukh Patel said a operational sprinkler system and the aid of the National Fire Authority saw the fire being controlled.
Patel said EFL will be in a better position to advise customers in Labasa later in the day on the update on the restoration of the power supply situation.
EFL has also advised customers in Labasa that all queries can be directed to 132-333 and emergencies to 913.
EFL apologizes for any inconvenience that may be caused as a result of this unplanned power outage exercise and seeks the cooperation and understanding of all affected customers.
