Georgetown: After a power outage that resulted in the entire Demerara region without power for several hours Monday night, Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL), in a statement said a transmission line tripped.
The state-owned power company noted Tuesday that the outage lasted two hours after the Demerara Interconnected System (DIS) tripped at 23:44 hrs.
GPL said this was because of problems experienced with the 69KV transmission lines linking Garden of Eden and Sophia.
“As a result, Georgetown, East and West Coast Demerara, East and West Bank Demerara communities were without electricity for about thirty to fifty-five minutes.”
The power company said that emergency remedial measures allowed its emergency personnel to “quickly and effectively” respond to the situation which resulted in the first feeder being repowered at 00:13 hrs and the last at 01:40 hrs on Tuesday.
