Unplanned Outages

A power outage occurs when the electricity supply is disrupted, causing lights and electrical equipment to stop working. Unplanned outages can happen for various reasons, such as trees falling on power lines during storms.

What to do when there’s a power outage:

  • Check your neighbors: If only your home is affected, it may be an electrical fault with your wiring.
  • Turn off appliances: Switch off TVs, computers, refrigerators, and other equipment.
  • Report the outage: Call Solomon Power immediately at 166 or 167.
  • Stay informed: Listen to local radio for updates.
  • Wait for restoration: Only turn devices back on after power is fully restored.
