Residents of Georgetown experienced multiple blackouts yesterday with the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) CEO, Kesh Nandlall stating that vibrations from piling activities on the Railway Embankment at Hope on the East Coast Demerara could have been to blame.
“The blackouts occurred twice yesterday, and we suspect the ongoing piling exercise is the reason,” Nandlall stated. “We are monitoring the situation closely to ensure the stability of our infrastructure.”
Line L17 Transmission Line, which supplies electricity from the power ship in Berbice to communities from Good Hope and Columbia, was disrupted during the incidents.
