The power station is being constructed by Government at a cost of $137M, with the equipment to be installed estimated to cost $20M.
Prime Minister, Samuel Hinds who recently visited and inspected work ongoing at the construction site, reiterated that the generators will be in place by year-end, and that residents can expect a better service, the Government Information Agency (GINA) reports.

The station will now be sited on relatively high ground in the commercial/ industrial area.
GINA says by the end of this month, the synchronising mechanism and the connection will be put in place, and the switching over will be done in a way so as to not interrupt the entire electricity service.
