The island experienced a total electrical system shutdown at approximately 7:55 a.m. on Tuesday, January 21.
The power outage was caused by a major internal fault at the Cul De Sac power station. The fault triggered the protection systems at the power station, resulting in a total System shutdown. After the faulted zone was isolated, appropriate checks and inspections commenced, and the process of restoring the system was initiated. Power restoration started around 9:05 a.m. and was completed at 10:13 a.m. LUCELEC is investigating the root cause of the problem.
LUCELEC apologises to its customers for this unplanned outage and for the inconvenience caused.
