Emergency Safety Tips

  • Never touch fallen power lines — stay at least 10 meters away and call 118 immediately.
  • During an outage, switch off heavy appliances to prevent surge damage when power returns.
  • Do not attempt repairs on the meter or service wire — only LESCO staff are authorized.
  • Keep a backup torch and a charged mobile phone for emergencies during long outages.
  • Report sparking poles, smoking transformers, or exposed wires to 118 right away.
