Tens of thousands of people across the country with the majority in the Central and Western Divisions are still without power supply today.

These people have been with power supply since Wednesday.

Energy Fiji Limited has released tentative restoration times for areas around country still without power due to fallen power poles, fallen power lines and damage to other power infrastructure.

CEO Hasmukh Patel stresses that these timelines are tentative and subject to change due to the weather condition, access to affected areas and the extent of damage to the power network.

Patel says they have teams outside the lockdown area.

This means it is a smaller team and it will take time to restore power.

He says, of course, they prepare for natural disasters but people have to understand that there will always be some damage.
