A widespread power disruption has been reported throughout the country. Some people reported an intermittent electricity supply while others have had their current gone for longer periods.
An official with T&T Electricity Commission (T&TEC) told T&T Guardian that their engineers are trying to return the service and ascertain the cause of the disruption.
People from all over the country reported experiencing power outages. Places like: Tacarigua, Rio Claro, D'abadie, Maraval, Gasparillo, St Augustine, La Brea and Tobago had power disruptions.
On December 15, there was a blackout in Port-of-Spain and other areas in the West. T&TEC said it has traced the source of last night's power outage across parts of northern Trinidad, as a problem at its Flament Street Substation.
T&TEC identified the source of the December 15 outage in North West Trinidad as a breaker at PowerGen's Flament St Substation which failed. An apparent cable fault was traced to the breaker during the restoration process.
The failure occurred as both companies are in the delicate final phase of switching over from the aging PowerGen plant by year's end.
The official also could not confirm if the power outage is similar to that of the Easter 2013 blackout.
Keep posted for more information.
