DENPASAR - As announced earlier, Bali will be the scene of rolling blackouts for two months to come. These planned outages are performed to lessen the use of power to prevent an overload on the entire Bali power grid. A gas plant in Gilimanuk is currently under maintenance, which causes a 130 megawatt drop in power supply for the resort island. The maintenance lasts until early December and will cause a power deficit of some 20 megawatts during evening hours.
Rolling blackouts will be put in place between 18:00 and 23:00 local time every day of the week. The outages will be spread evenly over the districts on the island of Bali. State-owned power company PLN hopes that the consumers will understand the current situation and are asked to conserve power as well. "If all households on the island save 100 watts of energy, there would be no blackouts during this period of maintenance," a spokesperson for PLN said.
