A fault at the Kingston Power Station was likely responsible for the total shutdown of the Demerara Berbice Interconnected System (DBIS) yesterday morning.
According to a press release from the Guyana Power and Light (GPL), the DBIS experienced a total shutdown at 05:45 hrs yesterday.
Ongoing problems at the Kingston Plant hampered restoration which began at 06:10 hrs in some areas, GPL said.
Full restoration was accomplished at 09:04 hrs when areas in Georgetown were repowered, it added.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the primary cause of the shutdown, but initial indications are that it was a result of a fault at the Kingston DP3 station, the release said, adding that troubleshooting was ongoing.
GPL said it regretted any inconvenience caused.
