Head of the Hinterland Electrification Company Horace Williams yesterday said the installation of a temporary generator to restore power to Port Kaituma is being examined.
As Port Kaituma residents continued to protest against the almost one-month long disruption, Williams told Stabroek News that given the uncertainty as to when the generators at the Port Kaituma Power and Light Company (PKPL) will be repaired, they are currently looking to source a generator that can serve the community in the interim. He said a 650 kW generator is needed to power the community.
Additionally, he noted that the delay in repairing the generators at the PKPL power plant is because needed parts have to be sourced overseas.
