Dear Editor,
More tales of the inefficiency of the Guyana Power & Light Incorporated (GPL) continue to surface. On Tuesday evening (November 2) a transformer at the corner of New Street in Cumberland sparked.
The company’s technicians could not fix the problem that evening. As a result, the entire area suffered a blackout which lasted way into the following morning.
This is totally unacceptable for a company like GPL to have done what they did to us that evening. Would you imagine that this 21st Century power provider does not have the capability to equip its “so called 24-hour outdoor crews” to carry out their jobs in the night, thus causing large areas to be left in darkness? This is so atrocious, GPL!
The thing is that the said location has a history of transformer problems.
Numerous transformer problems and sparking caused numerous blackouts – many of which lasted all night – in the past and yet GPL cannot devise a proper way to permanently fix a very old problem.
Heads from GPL’s management need to roll, beginning from the very top. They must go.
