MUSCAT: The Authority for Public Services Regulation (APSR) announced on Monday that electricity supply has been fully restored to all areas that experienced disruptions earlier in the day across several governorates of the Sultanate. This announcement came as a relief to residents after the sudden outage, which briefly impacted homes, businesses, and public facilities. The APSR clarified that the issue was identified swiftly, and specialized companies worked diligently to contain the situation and restore power in record time, reflecting the efficiency and coordination of Oman’s energy management systems.
According to the APSR, the earlier interruption was caused by a sudden technical failure in part of the electricity network. Teams were immediately deployed to conduct inspections, isolate affected sections, and execute repairs, ensuring that the disruption remained minimal. Their rapid response not only prevented wider network instability but also underscored the resilience of the national electricity infrastructure, which has been undergoing continuous upgrades to meet the growing demand of Oman’s expanding population and economy.
The Authority also provided a clear channel for support to residents who may still be experiencing technical issues despite the restoration. It urged subscribers facing power supply problems to directly contact the licensed distribution company’s call center at 1011 for assistance. This approach reflects the APSR’s commitment to customer service and its emphasis on maintaining open communication with the public during unexpected disruptions. It also highlights the importance of transparent and timely updates, which help to maintain public confidence and minimize inconvenience.
In its statement, the APSR expressed appreciation for the public’s patience and cooperation during the outage. It reaffirmed its dedication to ensuring a stable and reliable electricity supply and to responding swiftly to any future disruptions. The incident served as a test of the Sultanate’s readiness to handle sudden technical challenges and reinforced the importance of continuous investment in infrastructure, operational training, and emergency protocols to safeguard uninterrupted power supply in the long term.
