Alliance for Change (AFC) Executive Member David Patterson has lambasted the government for what he termed “lack of foresight and strategic planning” as it relates to the frequency of power outages.
At his party’s press conference yesterday, the former minister of Public Works was adamant that the state should desist from blaming the David Granger administration for a situation that was over 30 years old.
He informed reporters that currently there is a shortfall in generating capacity of approximately 35 MW to 40 MW, as several units are down at the Kingston location, while the new plants at Garden of Eden are operating below their listed capacity – all because of poor maintenance practices.
