At approximately 04:06 hrs this morning, the No. 1 & 2 Turbines at the Skeldon Co-generation plant shut down during an attempt to start the shredder at the Skeldon Factory, the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) said.
As a result, there was a shutdown of the Demerara Berbice Interconnected System. West Coast Demerara residents were not affected.
Restorations efforts commenced within twelve minutes of the shutdown with the last area being repowered at 5:28 hrs.
GPL says it regrets the inconvenience caused.
