BEL Intensifies Countrywide System Maintenance Program to Combat Impacts of Extended Drought
The extended drought and seasonal dry weather conditions have been causing excessive dust build-up on BEL’s power lines across the country, resulting in numerous electrical faults and sudden disruptions of electricity service to our customers.
