Government concerned about CLP Power's power cable accident
***********************************************************
A Government spokesman said, "We understand that the power outage incident in this very hot weather has greatly affected the public, and we are deeply sorry for this. We appeal to the affected residents to be patient. CLP Power is making every effort to repair, with a view to restoring the power supply as soon as possible."
The spokesman stressed that this accident was an isolated incident, which affected the power supply system in individual districts. The overall power grid and power supply situation in Hong Kong remain normal.
The Government will request CLP Power to investigate the incident in detail, find out the course and causes of the accident, and submit a report to the Government, with a view to preventing similar incidents from happening again.
