In a statement posted on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, AEDC said the maintenance began on Tuesday, February 4, 2026, and is expected to be completed by 2:00 pm. The exercise, according to the company, is aimed at improving electricity supply and enhancing service reliability.
