PUBLIC NOTICE
TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC OF KAVIENG

October 17,2026

PNG Power Ltd (PPL) wishes to address the general public in Kavieng regarding the safety and security of its distribution grid assets.

We are disappointed to report that a PNG Power Transformer (TX) in Omo Village was recently vandalized.

When you damage PPL equipment, you are stealing power from your own community. You are putting the lives of your family, neighbors, and PPL workers at risk.

Damaging these facilities is not only a criminal offense but also poses severe safety risks, including the danger of electrocution and fire.

We are appealing to the good people of Kavieng to:

* Refrain from damaging or tampering with any PPL properties along all existing distribution grids.

* Report any suspicious activity or individuals seen tampering with power infrastructure to the Kavieng Police or PPL immediately.

Let us work together to protect these vital services for the benefit of our schools, health centers, businesses, and homes.

Electricity is a service for everyone. Let's protect it

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
