The Guyana Power and Light Incorporated (GPL Inc.) has said that it is working to restore power in those areas across Region 4 that are currently without electricity due to three of the company’s circuits tripping.
Director of Operations, Bharat Harjohn, was quoted by the Department of Public Information (DPI) as saying that due to heavy rainfall in the wee hours of this morning, three circuits tripped resulting in service interruptions in a number of areas in Georgetown and on the East Coast and East Bank of Demerara.
