Excavation works may be to blame for city blackouts – GPL

The Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL) on Friday said power outages that affected Kingston and contiguous areas in Georgetown on Thursday may have been caused by an excavator coming into contact with primary conductors near its Kingston Power Plant.

In a statement, the company explained that at approximately 2.43 pm on Thursday, there was an interruption in the power supply due to entangled high voltage primary conductors near the Kingston plant.
