In 20 seconds
The R-239 Lavusa Feeder interruption is listed from 31 October at 13:27 Fiji time.
The listed areas include Nawakalevu Settlement, Nawaka Settlement, Vatutu Village, Yavuna Village and Nausori highlands.
The fault remains undetermined in the listing; no definite restoration timeframe or affected count is supplied.
Which areas does the listing name?
The EFL notice identifies the R-239 Lavusa Feeder and names Nawakalevu Settlement, Nawaka Settlement, Vatutu Village, Yavuna Village and Nausori highlands. These names describe the areas in the operator’s listing. They do not establish that every address in each place is without electricity, and the available evidence does not support an outage across all of Nadi or Fiji.
No number of affected customers, households or connections is available. The notice also does not establish supply at a particular property. Residents looking at the feeder name should therefore distinguish the listed service area from confirmation of their own address. There is no basis here for converting an unknown customer count into a population estimate.

What is known about timing and restoration?
EFL gives the beginning of this interruption as 31 October 2026 at 13:27 local Fiji time. That event time is separate from the check of the operator’s page on 1 November. Because no publication or update timestamp is available for the listing itself, the check does not prove when EFL last changed the notice or establish uninterrupted loss of supply at every named address.
The operator’s description is an undetermined fault, with no definite restoration timeframe. A specific failed component, repair stage and confirmed completion time are therefore unknown. The directory may lag conditions in the field. Its continued listing is not a new observation at each property, and no verified restoration statement is available in the checked evidence. The relationship to earlier Lavusa faults is unverified; this notice has its own stated start time.
Planning while the timeframe is uncertain
