Matthews Ridge without stable power after generator turbocharger theft

The Hinterland Electrification Company Inc, an agency within the Public Infrastructure Ministry, issued a report to the Ministry of the theft of a turbocharger from the generator at Matthews Ridge, Region One (Barima-Waini).
As a result of the stolen turbocharger, residents within Matthews Ridge are currently experiencing power outages. The matter has been reported to the relevant authority and the Ministry in a statement said it is working prudently to recover the stolen turbocharger or to have it replaced.
According to the Ministry, last weekend, as the mechanical engineer conducted maintenance work on the generators, he observed several parts were missing from the 156VA Cummins generator.
An investigation was immediately launched at the power station to find the missing equipment.
Moreover, the Ministry outlined that it was upon this investigation that the station operator allegedly confessed that he had removed the turbocharger from the generator and sold it to a miner.
The station operator is currently in custody at the Matthews Ridge Police Station as the investigation continues.
