Power shutdowns are mainly for maintenance, repair works, upgrading transformers, cable replacement, and ensuring uninterrupted supply in the future.

8. How can businesses prepare for power shutdowns?

Businesses can arrange backup generators, UPS, or plan operations around the announced schedule to avoid disruption.
