Customers in sections of the West Coast and West Bank Demerara were yesterday notified by GPL that power restoration had been delayed due to an explosion at the Vreed-en-Hoop Substation which houses the switchgear.
Once repairs are completed, power will be restored to a section of Best Village to Versailles.
The Guyana Power and Light (GPL) said that an alternative power supply was being arranged for customers from Vriesland to a section of Versailles. This GPL photo shows technicians at work on the West Demerara substation.
