RESIDENTS of Bartica are currently experiencing interruptions in their power supply due to technical difficulties being experienced on the No. 6 and 10 Generating Sets. As a result of this, available capacity has been reduced, thereby necessitating the current load shedding which started Monday, a statement from GPL said last evening. Efforts were underway to return both engines into service by last evening. In the unlikely event this does not materialise, load shedding will remain in effect for the evening and a guide will be published.
“Our company appeals for patience and understanding from the residents of Bartica as every effort is being made to restore reliable power supply. Residents are advised to check TARZIE television station or GPL’s Facebook page (GPL Inc.) for updates,” the statement concluded.
