BL&P: Power restored in most areas

Barbados Light & Power representative Jennifer Blackman said power has been restored to most areas affected by an outage which occurred about 8 p.m. today.

Blackman said the power outage was a result of a fault on one of the 24 transmission lines which tripped some of the generators. This led to outages scattered across the island.

Crews were dispatched immediately, according to Blackman, and most of the faults were resolved within 15 minutes. She said power should have been fully restored by 9 p.m. (KG)
