The Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) yesterday apologised for inconvenience caused by the power outages to sections of Georgetown, East Bank and East Coast Demerara on Tuesday.
The company said that the fault resulted from a network defect in Waterloo Street which caused a disruption of power to the cooling equipment at the 36MW Kingston power plant, causing protective devices to shut down three machines.
GPL said that the loss of the 20 MWs of generating capacity led to the power interruption. Power was restored within two and a half hours after the fault was corrected.
