34-minute blackout hits Singapore CBD

Around 3,156 customers were affected.

Singapore's central business district (CBD) was surprised by a power outage that lasted for 34 minutes Friday afternoon.

SP Group said that the electricity supply to parts of Raffles Quay, Robinson Road, and Shenton Way was disrupted at about 2:41 p.m. today. An estimated 3,156 customers were affected.

Electricity supply was then progressively restored via remote switching. Supply was fully restored within 34 minutes, by 3:15 p.m. today.

"Our officers were immediately deployed to the affected areas and our priority was to restore supply as safely and quickly as possible," SP Group said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
