The Yangon Electricity Supply Corporation (YESC) announced on December 19 that a four-hour electricity outage will be added to the current power outage schedule in Yangon, where electricity is supplied to the areas divided into A and B groups on a daily four-hour rotation basis, starting December 19. The added outage duration will be from 9 pm to 1 am at night time.
According to the announcement, A and B groups will be supplied electricity from 5 am to 1 am the next day alternately for four hours, and all of both groups will be provided power from 1 am to 5 am.
Such additional electricity outage duration to the power outage schedule is because of the load shedding in the power system, the announcement said. It is also seen that YESC’s township departments had informed the public of the change in the power outage schedule on their social media pages.
