Some consumers in the affected areas – between Nandy Park and Mocha – started to receive power around 21:00 hrs with the all remaining communities being repowered by 00:00hrs, GPL said.
”In an effort to effect permanent remedial work; electricity was temporarily disconnected at 11:20 hrs today (yesterday) to replace the burnt mains and subsequently restored at 13:21 hrs.”
