The Guyana Power and Light’s (GPL) latest shutdown in the Demerara-Berbice Interconnected System (DBIS) on Saturday saw the loss of approximately 40 megawatts of power and some consumers were without electricity for one hour and 45 minutes.
In a statement yesterday, GPL said that at approximately 6.56 pm on Saturday the DBIS experienced a shutdown due to a trip on two Transmission Lines, the L1 and L4, which link the Company’s Sophia Substation to the Golden Grove Substation and the Garden of Eden Power Plant respectively.
