PNG Power says the continuous black outs experienced in Port Moresby yesterday (01 January, 2019) was a result of several faults on transmission lines between power stations.
The power outage lasted for at least 10 hours in some parts of the city and was reported fully restored late last night.
An investigation conducted by PNG Power’s technical team revealed findings that the faults lay in the transmission lines.
A team of 86 maintenance personnel are on standby to attend to preventative repairs.
Meanwhile the strong winds experience in Port Moresby may affect electricity supply over the next few days.
