Loop Information- Officers on the Grenada Electrical energy Providers Restricted (Grenlec) are assessing the scenario following a hearth on the Beausejour Plant within the early hours of this morning which has brought on an island-wide outage on considered one of Grenada’s sister isles – Carriacou.
In a press release, Grenlec says there have been no accidents sustained through the incident.
Whereas the fireplace was intensive, the Firm is mobilizing assets to help the Carriacou Workforce in ascertaining the situation of the Plant.
Given the fireplace, there’s an island-wide outage in Carriacou at current.
Firm officers have apologized for the disruption in service, which comes because the Carriacou Maroon and String Band Pageant and different actions get underway.
Grenlec states its precedence is to revive electrical energy service within the quickest potential time.
Officers will present extra data upon completion of the evaluation.
Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell, is overseas and issued the next assertion: “I acquired the unhappy information of the fireplace on the Grenlec Energy Plant early this morning. Though I’m presently off island, I wished to let the individuals of Carriacou know that they’re foremost in my ideas and prayers.
We’re in lively contact with Grenlec to find out the extent of the harm and the way rapidly energy may be restored.”
In the meantime, Member of Parliament and Minister of Carriacou, Petite Martinique and Native Authorities, Tevin Andrews posted the next message early this morning: “Carriacou, sadly, we might be out of electrical energy for some time. The primary Grenlec energy station was broken by fireplace earlier this morning. Let me use this chance to thank the hard-working firemen/policeman and Grenlec employees that assisted in controlling the fireplace.”
