At 1:30 pm on January 23rd, a GEBE production unit shut down due to fuel injection problem. As another production unit was currently down due to maintenance, this resulted in load shedding in Cole Bay Lagoon, Pelican and Saunders areas. At this time, 4:30 pm, power has been restored to most areas, with the exception to part of the Simpsonbay area. GEBE apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.

On Monday, January 7th, 2012 between 6:00 and 8:00 pm, GEBE’s technicians successfully upgraded a switch feeding the main cable to the Pointe Blanche, Monte Vista and Back Bay areas. This upgrade should effectively resolve the power supply issues that residents have been experiencing in these areas during the holidays and return the situation to normal.

On December 12, from approx 1 am to 6 am there was a water interuption in the Cole Bay area, near the entrance of the Power Plant where road works are currently underway. Windward Roads, the contractor working on the road, accidently damaged a water line. GEBE technicians temporarily repaired the line with a clamp, however the line will have to be replaced. GEBE apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.

Ministry of Public Housing, Spatial Development, Environment and Infrastructure (MinVROMI) and GEBE, have been working together on a project that entails the installation of 6.5 km of additional electricity transmission cables from the Cay Bay Power Plant to the new GEBE Sub Station on Pond Island.

From approximately 12:00 pm – 4:00 am, this morning, there was an interruption in power to the Maho Resort and Aquamarina area. The outage was caused by sub-contractor Windward Roads who damaged the feeder cable to that area with the ongoing road works at the Tropicana Casino area.

GEBE invites you to participate in our Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey during the months of July and August. We would appreciate your feedback in our online survey.

Cay Bay - The island suffered a brief total blackout at 1:18 pm as a result of a transformer failure that affected the GEBE Power Plant. All areas were back online by 2:45 pm. NV GEBE apologizes for any inconvenience that this has caused.

A total shutdown occurred at GEBE’s Power Plant at 2:28 pm, which caused an island wide outage. The origin of the failure was a high tension switch, which resulted in a small fire that was put out by attentive plant personnel. We expect power to all areas to be restored by tentatively by 5:30 pm.
