Berbice: Berbicians entered 2013 with daily blackouts on numerous occasions, and the Guyana Power & Light Inc (GPL) officials say that the schematic protective mechanism on the 5-Megawatt Number Four Mirlees Blackstone Unit at the Canefield Power Station has been damaged.
According to GPL, there is a major overhaul which will be completed at the end of February. It was explained that the unit is usually taken out of operation after 12,000 hours of operation, opened and inspected. GPL is relying on Onverwagt Power Station as a voltage stability station and they have one base-load engine there which we are depending on.
Currently in the system, 24 megawatts are available, with a peak demand of 18 megawatts and 14 during the daytime.
