GPL advises of ECD service interruption due to road network expansion

The Guyana Power and Light (GPL) on Saturday advised the general public that as the Government of Guyana Road Network Expansion advances on the East Coast Demerara (ECD), the Ministry of Public Works will be relocating sections of the Transmission & Distribution networks at Mon Repos, La Bonne Intention (LBI) and Le Ressouvenir.
According to the utility company, the scope of work will include transferring high-voltage mains from wooden to concrete poles, constructing high-voltage structures and reconfiguring and dismantling the network.
As such, it noted that customers from Industry to Chateau Margot, Good Hope, Mon Repos, Agriculture Road, Triumph, LBI, South of the Railway Embankment, and Beterverwagting (BV) will experience service interruption on Monday, September 29, from 09:00h to 17:00h.
It also advised that customers in neighbouring communities may experience short interruptions from 09:00h to 09:30h and from 17:00h to 17:30h to facilitate switching to normalise the circuit.
The GPL expressed its appreciation for the public’s patience and understanding during this period.
