BINTULU: Multiple cable faults along the 11kV feeder cables to Sarawak Energy’s Kidurong Substation caused an outage and is hampering full restoration of supply to affected customers in the Kidurong area.
In a statement today Sarawak Energy said the cause of the multiple faults was still being investigated.
It said the outage was first reported at about 10.00pm on Monday (Oct 5) and Sarawak Energy’s technical team was immediately deployed to restore supply.
“Partial restoration was completed within the hour by 10.48pm on the same day,” it added.
However, Sarawak Energy noted that some areas continued to suffer outages from intermittent trips subsequently traced to multiple cable faults.
“Our team detected multiple faults along the feeder, and have been at site since Monday night working to restore supply. We are updating our affected customers on the situation and truly appreciate their kind understanding on this.
“We assure them that we are doing our best to restore power supply safely as soon as we can and apologise for the inconvenience caused,” said Sarawak Energy Bintulu Region regional manager Jabu Ngumbang through the statement.
