Scheduled Power Outages in Bali on Thursday, Nov 12, Including Jalan Tukad Badung Area in Denpasar

PLN's Bali distribution unit announced scheduled power outages on Thursday, November 12, 2026, in several areas across Bali Province for network maintenance and reinforcement work, including the Jalan Tukad Badung area in Denpasar.

PT PLN's Bali Distribution Unit (UID Bali), the state electricity company responsible for power supply across Bali Province, announced via its official Instagram account @plndistribusibali that temporary power outages will take place at several locations across the province on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

In its post, PLN UID Bali explained that the outages are related to efforts to improve the reliability of electricity supply, stating that maintenance and reinforcement work on the distribution network requires operational adjustments and load management. The company added that this work is part of its commitment to providing reliable electricity service and that it understands the inconvenience this may cause, while working to minimize the impact.

Areas affected by this outage include the vicinity of Jalan Tukad Badung in Denpasar. The original report does not specify exact outage times or a full list of affected areas, but PLN regularly updates its outage schedules on its official social media account.

Scheduled power outages like this occur periodically across Bali and can affect not only hospitality businesses, restaurants, and shops, but also the daily routines of foreign residents and tourists staying in the affected areas.

Things to Consider

If your accommodation or frequently visited shops are near Jalan Tukad Badung in Denpasar, charge power banks in advance in case of an outage. Since Wi-Fi routers will also stop working during outages, prepare to switch to mobile data for important communications. Check with your accommodation whether backup generators are available, and follow PLN's official Instagram account (@plndistribusibali) for the latest outage updates.
