APUA Electricity Unit Apologizes for Outage and Updates Restoration Efforts

PRESS RELEASE

The APUA Electricity Business Unit sincerely apologises for the disruption in electricity supply experienced by some of our customers from Saturday evening into today, Sunday 18 May 2025.

The interruption began at 7:15 p.m. on Saturday 17 May with the tripping of the first of four circuits (feeders).

Restoration efforts continued throughout the night, and by 8:55 a.m. on Sunday, all affected feeders had been successfully closed. However, as of 10:00 a.m., seven areas were still without power. By midday, only one area remained out of supply.

We expect electricity to be restored to the remaining area, Pattersons Liberta, later this afternoon.

The main areas that were impacted during the outage include:

* Cassada Gardens #7, Swetes #4, a section of Swetes #2 including the Ivan Rodrigues RO Plant, Vernons, Cedar Hill, Jonas Road, All Saints, and Liberta up to the Police Station

* Five Island #1 and Swetes #3, which includes Cooks, Bolans, Crab Hill, and up to the burial ground in Old Road

* Cassada Gardens #9 and #3, Friars Hill Southeast, which includes Utility Drive, New Winthorpes, Cedar Valley, Royal Gardens, Cedar Grove, Epicurean Supermarket, and the Woods Shopping Center area

* Belmont #4, which includes Jennings and the area up to Hermitage Hotel.

Customers who are still without electricity are encouraged to contact our Contact Centre at 311 to report their fault.

We understand how important electricity is and assure you that our team is working diligently to restore power to those affected in the safest and soonest possible time.

We truly regret any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your continued patience and understanding
