At approximately 10:13hrs yesterday, while reclosing the F8 feeder at Kingston (which serves customers along Camp Street to Charlestown), the station transformer at the Kingston Power Plant tripped, the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) said.
This caused approximately 30 Megawatts of generating capacity to go offline, which resulted in the shutdown of the Demerara-Berbice Interconnected System (DBIS).
