These potential interruptions may occur intermittently, depending on the state of the electricity network. In most of its regional notices, STEG specifies that each outage period should not exceed two hours.

Attention : la liste peut évoluer
The STEG emphasizes that this list is not definitive. Other areas may be affected depending on how the situation evolves and on the balancing needs between electricity production and consumption.
Power may return without notice
STEG specifies that the restoration of electricity may occur without prior notice. It therefore calls on residents and professionals located in the cited zones to take the necessary precautions during the window from 9 p.m. to midnight.
To report an emergency or obtain further information, customers can contact STEG’s service number at 71 239 222. They can also use the numbers appearing on their consumption bills.
STEG apologizes for this exceptional measure and asks its customers for understanding and cooperation.
