FENAKA Corporation has decided to give a 50 percent discount on electricity bills in HDh. Kulhudhuffushi owing to the power outage issues faced by the public during Ramadan.

In a press statement issued on Monday night, FENAKA apologised for the power outages in the city and said the corporation is working on finding a permanent solution to the issue.

As such, FENAKA said that work is ongoing to install a new genset in the island to provide a temporary solution to the power outages.

"Due to the inconveniences caused by the power outages during Ramadan, we are giving 50 percent discount on all electricity bills. We take full responsibility for the power outages and the inconveniences caused," FENAKA said.

The corporation said that due to gross negligence over the past 5 years, the corporation is working with the relevant authorities to find a permanent solution to the electricity issues in the city.

Although the city uses 5 generators to source power, they are unable to generate enough power for the city and therefore leads to power outages every day.
