Workers of the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) were yesterday working on the 13.8 kV Submarine Cable across the Demerara River.
The idea, according to GPL, is to fix a number of faults on the cable which links the power stations on East and West Demerara.
“GPL’s technical team is currently conducting a “Fault Finding Exercise” on the company’s 13.8 kV Submarine Cable across the Demerara River between Princess Street, Georgetown and Transport and Harbours Department – Ferry Stelling Vreed-en-hoop, West Bank Demerara,” GPL said in a Facebook post.
“The purpose of this exercise is to identify the fault, repair damages and repower this Submarine cable link.”
