Linden power down

Residents all across Linden were without power from about 14:00 hrs yesterday afternoon up until press time this morning after a breaker at BOSAI’s power plant got damaged.

BOSAI’s power plant is responsible for supplying the entire town with electricity. The damaged breaker was preventing power from being taken to the sub-station which is responsible for distributing electricity around the town. As such, thousands were left without electricity yesterday.

It should be noted that while the damaged breaker was found to be the source of the outage, officials, up to press time, could not say what damaged the critical component to the power plant.
