EFL lists a Naqali Feeder interruption beginning 2 November at 09:56 Fiji time.
The affected-area list includes Naqali Village, Nabukaluka Road, Vanuakula, Waidina Secondary School and Waidina Nursing Station.
The fault is undetermined; no definite restoration timeframe or customer total is provided.
What the EFL listing establishes
The utility’s unplanned-outage table gives a start time of 09:56 on Monday, 2 November, in Fiji, equivalent to 21:56 UTC on 1 November. It describes a feeder trip with an undetermined fault. This is the start recorded for the Naqali entry, rather than the publication time of a separate repair or restoration announcement.
EFL’s affected-area list includes numerous named settlements, as well as Waidina Secondary School and Waidina Nursing Station. Those names identify locations on the listed network. They do not establish that the school or nursing station stopped operating, lost backup power or suffered a separate service closure. No such operational impact is verified here.

Restoration timing remains unknown
The entry provides no definite timeframe for restoration. It also gives no affected-customer total or complete address-level account of supply. The named locations do not establish an outage across all of Fiji, and population figures must not be substituted for customer connections. Conditions at individual properties remain unverified.
The page does not show a publication or latest-update time for this row and retains older outage entries. Its listing may therefore lag field conditions. The checked record establishes the utility’s Naqali listing, while leaving completed repairs and restoration unconfirmed. This is a distinct entry from the older Lavusa and Sigatoka faults; no shared cause is established.
Preparing while the timeframe is uncertain
For household planning, the grid-down essentials guide covers essential backup needs, the internet backup guide covers connectivity, and the runtime calculator helps compare battery capacity with device demand. These resources help assess equipment needs; they cannot predict when network electricity will return.
