TTEC: 25 areas without power

The Commission, in a press release, thanked its customers for their continued patience and understanding as they make every effort to have all customers back on a regular supply. TTEC said that in North Trinidad areas in Paramin, Mackay Hill, Belmont, Upper Belmont Valley Road as well as about 25 individual customers, have been attended to yesterday.

In South, seven areas are still without an electricity supply, two pockets in Moruga and five in the Penal area, in addition to some individual customers. The Eastern area continues to encounter a number of challenges due to floodwaters having not yet receded to a level where the utility’s crews can go in and effect repairs to fallen or damaged poles and electrical wires. In addition to the floodwater, fallen trees are also posing a danger.

T&TEC work crews yesterday continued repair work in Central Trinidad. The Commission said that areas still without power are in Sangre Grande, Tamana, Talparo, Mundo Nuevo, Coalmine, Blanchisseuse, Cumuto, Foster Road, Sou Sou Lands and Salybia.

Tobago’s electrical supplies were not affected by the storm, the Commission said.
