“With the increasing number of commercial and residential developments in recent years, however, outages have been occurring more and more frequently.
“I wonder if the electricity supply in the district can keep up with the growing demand for power.”
A SESB spokeswoman said more information was needed in order for the firm to assist the resident.
“He will have to specify the location of his home, as well as provide the time and date of the most recent outages, so that we can ascertain what is causing these irregularities,” she said.
