PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Power Restored Following Early Morning Blackout and Load Shedding

NV GEBE experienced an island-wide power outage early this morning, which began at approximately 3:57 AM.

The Power Plant team immediately went into action to address the situation and worked swiftly to restore power, prioritizing critical areas such as the Hospital, Airport, Police Station, School districts, and all areas with water pumps, especially the ones feeding the school Districts. At around 10:45 AM, the situation was largely stabilized across the island, and power had been restored to all areas with the exception of a small isolated area in Cay Bay.

Following the restoration of power, the Power Plant continued to conduct their technical assessment on two particular units whereby loadshedding was implemented in order to maintain the stability across the grid. The assessment will continue throughout the course of the afternoon and evening. A further update will be provided once the assessment has been finalized.

NV GEBE understands the inconvenience caused and appreciates the patience of its customers during this period. We assure you this was beyond our control.

We remain committed to ensuring a reliable and consistent power supply, and our teams are continuously working diligently to improve our service to the community.

***** IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR TRAVELERS - ISSUE RESOLVED******* (see update post)

🚨IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR TRAVELERS🚨

Dear Passengers,
This morning, after the power outage by GEBE, the airport's backup system failed to respond correctly, leaving the airport without power.

The cause appears to be one of the new generators, which is causing a shutdown. The airport requires three generators to operate simultaneously in order to provide adequate power. This system had worked flawlessly before.

Technicians have been working since 5:50 AM to resolve the issue. An update will be provided as soon as more information becomes available. Flights will be affected this morning, so please contact your airline for further details.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
Thank you for your cooperation.

— PJIA Management.
