(JUBA) – Thirteen neighbourhoods across Juba will lose power for four hours on Saturday while the electricity provider installs new transformer poles and equipment.
The Juba Electric Distribution Company, known as JEDCO, said the planned interruption will run from 8:00 AM to midday on 4 July 2026. The work targets Partial Feeder F and will remove roughly 3 megawatts from the network.
Areas set for disconnection are Hai Cinema, Hai Neem, Hai Mobil, Nimratalata, Atlabara B, Hai Thoura, Nyakuron East and West, Suk Sitta, Giada, the University of Juba, Jebel Market, Jaborona and parts of Khor Williang. The affected locations fall within sections of Juba Block Council and Kator Block payams.
The company is erecting transformer poles and fitting accessories. JEDCO asked customers for patience and apologised for the disruption. Residents can call the toll free line 319 for more information.
The Saturday outage takes place during an extended period of power rationing across the city. JEDCO announced last week that temporary rationing would continue from 29 June to 5 July 2026. The company said the extension was caused by ongoing planned maintenance at the power generation plant. Customers were directed to consult the published rationing schedule for their local dates and times.
JEDCO has also urged residents to apply for new connections. The company runs customer centres in Nimratalata and Gudele. Applicants need a copy of their national ID, a copy of a land sketch map and a written request for connection.
