The Guam Power Authority on April 17 said it continued its power restoration process and has made progress it its post-Typhoon Sinlaku recovery.
GPA provided the following details on restoration efforts:
• Feeders/Circuits: A total of 33 feeders/circuits are partially energized as of April 17 of the 63 distribution feeders/circuits.
• Substations: A total of 28 critical substations energized of the 29 total major GPA substations.
• Generation Capacity: 432 MW of generation capacity online supporting 112 MW load
GPA said its objectives for April 17 included:
• Now that almost all substations are energized throughout the island, including down south, crews are now able to concentrate on restoring distribution feeders/circuits.
• During this stage of recovery, some energized feeders may still leave pockets of isolated customers with extensive damages. GPA will return to restore service to those remaining customers immediately after all other feeders without faults are restored.
• Repair and restore isolated pockets, including transformer replacements, service lines, meters, and other necessary components.
• Continue working on urgent needs across the island.
