Power finally restored to Matthews Ridge

The community of Matthews Ridge can breathe a collective sigh of relief now that their electricity woes have been resolved

Two damaged relays on the generator sets that power Matthews Ridge were identified as the culprits behind the months of power outages in the community, mechanic David Krishna who worked on the project told Stabroek News on Monday.

Krishna told Stabroek News that two wires were incorrectly connected resulting in the relays not being able to power the electrical circuit to turn on the generator. Power was eventually restored to the community on Monday afternoon.
