Power Cuts Across Mauritius: Affected Areas, Nov 13 to 15
The CEB has scheduled planned electricity outages across multiple regions from 13 to 15 November 2026 for network maintenance and upgrades.
Residents and businesses in several parts of Mauritius should prepare for planned electricity interruptions between Thursday 13 and Saturday 15 November 2026. The Central Electricity Board (CEB), the state body responsible for generating and distributing electricity across the island, has scheduled the outages to carry out maintenance and reinforcement work on the national grid.
The cuts will affect a wide spread of locations, including Quatre-Bornes, Flic-en-Flac, Cottage, Curepipe, Esperance-Trebuchet and Goodlands, among others. These are some of the most densely populated urban and suburban areas on the island, meaning tens of thousands of households and commercial premises could be impacted over the three-day period.
The CEB carries out these planned interruptions regularly to upgrade infrastructure, replace ageing equipment and improve the reliability of supply. While they are disruptive in the short term, the works are intended to reduce the frequency of unplanned outages over time.
For residents, the timing matters as much as the location. If you live or work in one of the named areas, it is worth checking the specific street-level schedules published by the CEB, as not all sectors within a region will be cut at the same time. Outages are typically carried out in time slots during daylight hours, though exact hours vary by zone.
What this means for you: if your area is listed, plan accordingly. Charge devices, store water if you rely on an electric pump, and check that any medical equipment or refrigerated goods are accounted for. Businesses that depend on a continuous power supply, such as restaurants, clinics or small manufacturers, should consider backup arrangements for the duration of the works.
The full schedule, including the precise sectors and time slots for each day, is available through the CEB's official channels. Residents are encouraged to consult the detailed list to confirm whether their specific street or locality is included and at what time the interruption is expected.
The CEB serves as Mauritius's primary electricity provider, managing a network that covers the main island as well as Rodrigues through a separate system. Planned maintenance windows like this one are a routine part of keeping that network functional, particularly as the board works to modernise infrastructure ahead of the peak summer demand season.
