Cabras Unit No. 1 expected to be online tomorrow, Piti 9 remains on limited production; load shedding possible for tonight
(Fadian, Mangilao) - Although a load shedding schedule was provided yesterday that would have started rotating outages beginning at 5 pm, GPA delayed implementing the outage schedule by nearly two (2) hours, and ceased load shedding at 9 pm. This occurred as a result of customers conserving power last night. We thank our customers and appreciate their efforts to conserve power during peak demand hours.
Cabras Units 1 & 2, 48-year-old plants, experienced issues that require repairs to both units. Cabras Unit No. 2 continues to be offline undergoing emergency repairs to the boiler tubes. Cabras Unit No. 1 is expected to be online by Friday, March 10, 2023. With Cabras Unit No. 1 back online tomorrow, this should provide adequate generation during peak demand hours.
Piti 9 remains on limited production due to high liner temperature on cylinder, and will remain offline this weekend for repairs.
GPA will continue to implement its interruptible load program as needed. “GPA continues to do everything to meet the island’s power load including placing GWA assets on standby generators and working with large customers, including Navy, to isolate their facilities from the grid during peak time,” stated GPA General Manager, John M. Benavente, P.E.
Again, despite all efforts, if there is a shortage of generation capacity tonight, GPA will, as a last resort to maintain grid stability, implement rotating outages lasting up to 1-hour. Power will be reconnected to all affected customers at the top of each hour. “Once again, we kindly request that all customers conserve power, especially during the peak demand hours from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.”, added GM Benavente.
The load shedding schedule is posted on GPA’s website and social media pages including Instagram and Facebook. Note: the attached load shedding schedule is provided to assist customers to plan in the event an outage may occur but does not mean a power interruption is imminent.
GPA thanks all of its customers for their continued patience.
