At approximately 20:56 hours last evening, the Guyana Power and Light says a line trip along two Kingston feeders (F3 and F4) resulted in an interruption in the supply of electricity to customers in Kingston, Cummingsburg, Albertown, Lacytown and Werk-en-Rust.
An investigation of the feeders revealed five burnt switches that are suspected to have occurred as a result of a lightning strike.
Notwithstanding this, the feeders were isolated and restoration efforts began last evening at approximately 22:16 hours in Kingston with the last area being repowered at 22:57hours.
Remedial works began around noon today and were successfully completed by 13:00hrs, during which time an interruption in the supply of electricity to sections of Lacytown and Werk-en-Rust was unavoidable, GPL said.
