THE Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) has said that at about 18:35hrs on Tuesday, the Demerara Power Vreed-en-Hoop feeder No.4 tripped thrice, resulting in interruptions in the supply of electricity to customers from La Grange to Edinburgh, Zeeburg to Naamryck and Leonora.

The power company said in a release that their engineers are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the root cause and will be working assiduously to maintain a reliable service.

In spite of the challenges, the feeder was isolated and restoration efforts commenced last evening at approximately 18:50hrs with the last area being repowered at 19:23hrs.

As part of the efforts to provide a reliable and sustainable supply of electricity, the engineers and executive management are creating innovations to meet and exceed the needs of customers, GPL added.
