Samoa’s power supply issues continue as the Electric Power Corporation (EPC) announces ongoing outages and power rationing measures.
In a public advisory issued on 14 March 2025, EPC stated that the outages will persist due to essential infrastructure repairs and maintenance. The corporation cited three main factors affecting power stability; a faulty underground transmission line, maintenance at Fiaga Power Plant, and damage caused by severe weather on 9 March.
To address the faulty transmission line, EPC is constructing an overhead redundancy line from Siusega to the Fuluasou substation via Tuanaimato. This project is expected to be completed within two weeks. The Fiaga generators, which are undergoing maintenance, will be restored to full capacity, and additional generators have been ordered to meet growing electricity demand.
EPC has implemented a power rationing schedule and is urging the public to follow the official notices to ensure a fair distribution of electricity. The corporation is advising residents to prepare for outages by keeping essential devices charged, stocking up on necessities, using alternative lighting, unplugging sensitive appliances, and conserving electricity during peak hours.
Samoa has been experiencing consistent power outages across the country, affecting homes and businesses. EPC assured the public that efforts are being made to complete repairs as quickly as possible.

O leā, e fa’ailoa atu ai, ua fa’apolokalameina e le EPC aso ma taimi o le motusia atu ai le auaunaga i tatou laina eletise malosi (Feeders) ma nisi o vaega ina ai mafai ona fa’asoasoaia tutusa i vaega eseese o Upolu nei, le eletise o loo mafai mai e tatou fale afi i taimi eseese ole Aso, i aso tātasi. E fautuaina ai le tatou atunuu, e asiasi ane i tatou auala o fesootaiga mo fa’asilasilaga fa’apitoa o vaega ole a motusia atu ai le eletise.
TAPENAPENAGA I AUALA SAOGALEMU I TAIMI E MOTUSIA AI LE ELETISE
E tuuina atu ma le agaga fa’aaloalo mo le tatou atunuu, nisi nei o vaega taua e mafai ona nofo tapena ai i si o tatou atunuu:
- Fafaga tekonolosi ma meafaigaluega e moomia ai le eletise: Manatua e fafaga le maa o lau telefoni feavea’i, moli uila, ma fa’atau ane ni maa fa’aoleo ina nei fa’aumi umi le motusia ai o le eletise i lou maota.
- Tapenapena mamā mo vaega taua e moomia mole soifua manuia: Ia saunia se “emergency kit” mo fesoasoani fa’afuase’i ma ia aofia ai tapena ni fanu vai inu, o taumafa talafeagai mo taimi o fa’alavelave fa’afuase’i fa’apea foi fuala’au tāua.
- Fa’aaogā meafaigaluega e le fa’aaogāina ai le eletise: Ia maua moli ga’o, moli matagi, po’o moli e fa’aaogā ai maa.
- Ia saogalemu meafaigaluega i taimi uma: Ia aveese meafaigaluega e fa’aaogāina le eletise mai palaka ina foi’a ai le fa’aletonu pe a toe fa’afouina le auaunaga i tulaga masani.
- Fa’aitiitia le fa’aaogāina o le eletise: Fa’aitiitia le fa’aaogāina ole eletise i taimi e maualuga ai le manaoga tau eletise ina ia fesoasoani i le fa’asoasoaia ole auaunaga.
- Mataituina o Fa’amatalaga Taua mo le nofo silafia: Asiasi ane i tatou auala o fesootaiga ae maise o upega tafa’ilagi aua le nofo silafia o faagasologa o le tatou galulue fesoasoani, ma polokalame mole fa’asoasoaina ole tatou eletise i aso tātasi.
Fa’amalū atu mo asu atu vai malu i o outou finagalo Samoa. Ae matou te fa’ailoa ma le agaga maualalo, o loo taumafai atu le tatou auaunaga ile mea e gata ai, i lenei taimi o feagai lo tatou Faalapotopotoga ma lu’itau nei o le galuega.
