The N.V. Energiebedrijven Suriname (EBS) has announced a temporary power generation shortfall from Saturday, November 8, to Wednesday, November 12, 2025, due to urgent maintenance on several power generation units. This maintenance will hinder the company’s ability to fully meet the electricity demand during this period. According to EBS, power shortages are expected to occur from early afternoon until approximately 3:00 AM on weekends. On weekdays, particularly Monday and Tuesday, power cuts may begin in the morning and extend into the early hours of the following day. Depending on the grid’s load, certain neighborhoods could experience outages lasting up to five hours, with at least one occurrence during the maintenance period. The specific areas affected will not be announced in advance, as they depend on real-time electricity demand. EBS has assured that critical facilities such as hospitals and police stations, along with areas connected to the same power lines, will be exempt from these outages. The utility company has urgently appealed to all consumers to conserve electricity as much as possible during these days to mitigate the impact of the power disruptions.
