Planned Power Cuts to Affect Several Alanya Neighbourhoods on 25 September
Several central neighbourhoods in Alanya will experience extensive power cuts on Friday, 25 September 2026.
This is due to scheduled maintenance work on the electricity grid and will affect both permanent residents and tourists located in the areas of Fiğla, Emişbeleni, Kayabaşı, Mahmutseydi, Toslak, and Yeniköy. While the Fiğla neighbourhood will be without power for three hours, the other affected areas must prepare for a power-free period that could last up to seven hours, which will have a significant practical impact on daily life.
The maintenance work is a necessary part of efforts to ensure a stable and functional power grid in the region. Although such scheduled interruptions are intended to improve infrastructure in the long term, they bring short-term challenges.
The power cuts can affect everything from basic household functions to the availability of services for visitors, and it is therefore important to be well-prepared for the announced date. For residents and tourists in the affected areas, it is wise to take precautions.
The power failure will affect access to electrical appliances, including air conditioning, refrigerators, and freezers.
It is recommended that mobile phones, tablets, and laptops are fully charged in advance of Friday. In addition, it may be prudent to have torches or other alternative light sources available, as street lighting and indoor lighting will be out of operation.
Water pumps, which many homes rely on, will also cease to function during the power cut, which can lead to a shortage of water on higher floors. It may be sensible to fill containers with water for personal hygiene and basic tasks.
For those who live in homes with electric cookers, preparing food will be challenging, and it is wise to plan meals that do not require electricity, or to make use of dining establishments outside the affected areas, should they be open. Tourists and visitors should be particularly aware of the notified power cuts.
Hotels and holiday rentals in the aforementioned neighbourhoods may experience reduced comfort, and this could affect access to the internet, which often relies on local power.
Shops, restaurants, and cafés in Fiğla, Emişbeleni, Kayabaşı, Mahmutseydi, Toslak, and Yeniköy may either stay closed or operate with significantly reduced capacity while the power is off.
This means that planned activities and errands in these areas should be adjusted accordingly. For those planning to visit Alanya or who live in the region, it is essential to identify whether your specific address falls within the aforementioned neighbourhoods.
Power cuts can also affect cash machines and payment terminals, so it may be wise to have some cash to hand.
Although this is a temporary inconvenience aimed at ensuring better infrastructure, it underscores the importance of being informed and prepared for a smooth experience in Alanya.
