The Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) yesterday said that a problem at Sophia caused the early morning outage yesterday.
“At approximately 03:58 hrs yesterday, the Demerara-Berbice Interconnected System (DBIS) experienced service interruptions as a result of a short-circuit within a 13.8 kV breaker at Sophia,” the power company said.
Service restoration efforts began immediately and at approximately 05:30 hrs, all areas were repowered; except Kitty, Subryanville, Alberttown, Newtown, Queenstown and Bel Air.
“These areas were repowered at 12:48 hrs following the completion of remedial work to resolve a localised fault on Vlissengen Road.
Additionally, customers from No. 54 Village to Skeldon, Berbice who experienced similar outages as a result of burst conductors on the L23 transmission line, were repowered at 09:30 hrs.”
GPL said it sincerely apologises for the inconvenience caused.
