Tropical island Bali has been plunged into a blackout that has brought much of the province to a standstill just days after the mass power outage affecting Spain and Portugal.
Local media is reporting the British tourist Mecca in Indonesia has been without power since about 4pm local time (9am BST), with undersea cables between the island and Java reported as having been to blame.
In a statement reported by the Jakarta Globe, state run utilities service PLN said the issue with the submarine cables flowed on to affect local power plants on the island.
"We would like to apologise for the inconvenience. We are currently focusing on restoring the system before normalizing the load," PLN said in a statement reported by the masthead.
