Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL), Bharat Harjohn says the frequent power outages during last week were due to the faults within the transmission line between Kingston and Sophia, Georgetown.
He told Stabroek News on Monday that the faults in the transmission line were rectified but the frequent power outages were compounded by a defective transformer at GPL’s substation in Edinburgh (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara).
“The transmission line that experienced a fault has been rectified but there was also a defective transformer at our substation in Edinburgh which became defective, but our emergency team is working on it as we speak”.
