The Guam Power Authority advises customers of the continuing extended schedule for possible 1-hour rotating outages beginning Saturday at 4:00 p.m. September 9, 2023 through Wednesday at 3:00 a.m. September 20, 2023 due to limited generation capacity.
Although, baseload unit Piti 8 is back online after completion of emergency repairs, baseload unit Cabras 2 continues to remain offline for emergency repairs. It is anticipated to return to service on Monday, September 11, 2023.
To maintain grid stability when customer energy demand exceeds total energy capacity, GPA will, as a last resort, implement rotating outages lasting up to 1-hour. Power will be reconnected to all affected customers at the top of each hour.
The attached schedule is issued as a precautionary notice to allow customers to plan accordingly should outages be necessary while these critical generation units are under repair. This notice is provided but does not mean a power interruption will occur.
Customers are encouraged to conserve power from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Refraining from using unnecessary air conditioning units and turning off electric water heaters immediately before and during the peak demand hours can significantly assist in reducing energy demand and required load shedding.
We thank you for your continued patience and urge the community to follow our social media pages and website for the latest outage information.
