⚠️ ELECTRICITY PURCHASES CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE ⚠️

Due to the widespread power outage affecting GQ, the municipality’s IT server in Central is currently offline.

WireIT has advised that the issue is on the municipality’s side, which unfortunately means that electricity cannot currently be purchased through the usual channels.

We have been advised that we will need to wait for the municipal server to come back online before electricity purchases can resume.

We understand how frustrating this is, especially for residents who need to purchase prepaid electricity. We will share any further information as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while the municipality works to resolve the issue.
