GPL shutdowns continue

The Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) yesterday reported two disruptions in service for customers served by the Demerara-Berbice Interconnected System (DBIS).

GPL said at approximately 1.40 am, the DBIS suffered an interruption in service due to a fault on the breaker of the F6 Feeder.

Restorative efforts, it added, commenced at 1.45 am and all affected customers were repowered by 4.59 am, with the exception of customers in ‘A’ to ‘E’ Fields, Sophia. GPL said the extended delay was due to replacement of the damaged switch gear and cleaning/refurbishment of the busbar and cubicle. Power was expected to be restored by last evening.
