Grand Tunis faces possible power outages Friday night

Residents in Greater Tunis should brace for potential electricity disruptions on Friday night. The Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company (STEG) has announced that intermittent power outages could occur between 9 PM and midnight on August 28, 2026.

The STEG stated that the rolling blackouts are a possibility, depending on the prevailing circumstances. This measure aims to manage the electricity grid's stability during peak hours or under specific operational demands. The announcement was made via a notice published on Friday.

While the exact areas affected are not detailed beyond 'several zones of Greater Tunis,' the intermittent nature of the cuts means that power could be switched off and on at intervals. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions, such as ensuring electronic devices are charged and sensitive equipment is protected from sudden power surges or drops.

This announcement serves as a warning to the public to be prepared for potential inconveniences. The STEG's communication aims to inform citizens in advance, allowing them to make necessary arrangements for the evening.
