The Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) has assured its customers that it remains committed to providing reliable electricity supply during the holiday season.
According to a press release on Monday, the utility company however went on to acknowledge that despite its efforts to ensure adequate generation, the inadequacies within its aged Transmission and Distribution (T&D) network continues to pose problems. That being said, GPL, despite the circumstances, declared that it would continue to make the most of the existing assets through proactive maintenance and prudent operational practices.
GPL says it would be concluding its pre-planned maintenance activities on the T&D network on December 8 but will continue to ensure that any issues that could cause potential widespread outages during the holidays are addressed. The corporation warns however, that this may mean having localised outages for shorter periods of time. GPL apologised for such situations but stated that they are a necessary inconvenience given the vulnerabilities of the T&D network.
