Guam Power Authority has changed its daily reporting to differentiate between “System Load (Customer Demand) Restored,” which has reached 56 percent, and “Customers Restored,” a new reporting term.
“System Load (customer demand) percentage is higher than customer count because commercial and industrial loads are higher than residential loads,” according to GPA’s latest report, which is as of 1 p.m., Tuesday, June 6, 2023.
According to the report, 40.9 percent of residential customers now are on the island’s power system.
GPA’s restoration program is on Phase II of its recovery campaign. “Those with significant damages will be addressed in Phase III,” according to today’s report. The crews’s top effort continues to be the energization of water wells to get running water to more areas.
Areas of focus for the crews – which are divided among villages north, central and south – for the next three days include:
- P-270: Route 16 from McDonald’s to Route 1 (left side of Route 16 northbound).
- P-310: Harmon McDonald’s on to Route 1, including Taitano Road.
- P-250: Ordot-Chalan Pago area including Maimai Road.

- P-280: Anigua substation towards Maina, and through to Asan valley.
- P-262: Talofofo village to Windward Hills Road, and on towards Route 4 including Baza
Gardens vicinity and down to Ipan area.
