Police describe outage complaints in Nusa Penida district and a visit to PLTD Nusa Penida on 6 October.
According to the police account, PLTD staff said a fault occurred in one backup generator.
The exact onset, affected total and restoration time remain unknown; district wording does not establish an island-wide outage.
Police report coordination at the power station
The police account says the Nusa Penida police chief and officers visited PLTD Nusa Penida in response to residents’ complaints about a mass electricity interruption in the district. The visit is dated 6 October. It provides a dated account of the authorities’ response, but does not identify the precise time electricity first went off. The article was published on 7 October at 13:29 WITA; that publication time is separate from both the visit and the outage onset.
Police say PLTD staff explained that the disruption occurred in one backup generator. That explanation is attributed to the power station through the police report. It is not an independent engineering assessment, and the available account does not describe the repair work, the generator’s capacity or a completion schedule. A local news article repeats the same originating police account; it does not supply separate confirmation of the technical cause.

The named location is Nusa Penida district in Klungkung, Bali. The description of a mass interruption does not establish that every property in the district or every part of the island lost electricity. No affected customer count, address list or exact duration is supplied. There is also no current restoration notice establishing that electricity has returned, and supply at individual addresses has not been verified. The dated account should not be read as a live check of every connection.
Planning for essential devices
For local interruptions, the runtime calculator helps compare battery capacity with device consumption. The internet backup planner covers router and modem power, while the backup essentials guide provides a preparation checklist. These tools support household planning; they cannot determine the condition of the local electricity network or predict when a generator repair will finish.
