The nation’s electricity giant, PNG Power Limited have assured electricity consumers and the general public that it will continue to play its role as the electricity provider during this challenging time. “We completely dispel rumors circulating that there will be power outages nationwide and spreading information on planned strikes by employees.” Acting Chief Executive Officer of PPL, Nehemaiah Naris has assured public in a media statement that at this time, PNG Power’s primary concern is to ensure that there is power supply to all our customers nationwide. “In the last two days, our teams have been on standby and attended to and restored power supply to our customers despite the serious security threat.” “The rumors on social media were created by a few individuals with malicious intentions to misinform, mislead and create further anxiety in the general public on top of what’s already been a challenging two days in the country.” Naris added that individuals with ulterior motives were trying to use the current situation for their own self-serving interests and that PPL was aware of the 14-Day SOE and will be complying with directives given by the controller. “There is a current National court order in place preventing employees from going on strike, and employees are fully aware of the consequences." “PPL is aware of the 14-Day State of Emergency (SOE), which was announced by the National Government and will comply with SOE directives as directed by the SOE controller.” Meanwhile he further added that PNG Power Limited’s hard-working team remained committed to their duties despite the civil unrest and will continue to do so for the benefit of all our customers.
