Tunisia’s national electricity and gas company, Steg, announced potential rolling blackouts across numerous regions on Wednesday, August 19, 2026. The planned outages are scheduled to occur between 1:30 PM and 5:00 PM local time, with each interruption potentially lasting up to two hours. Steg cites an unspecified necessity as the reason for these exceptional measures. The announcement suggests a strain on the country’s power grid, prompting the need for temporary power reductions. These disruptions aim to manage electricity distribution and prevent a wider system failure. Residents are advised to prepare for the possibility of intermittent power loss during the stated timeframe. Further details regarding the specific regions affected are expected to be released by Steg.
