yesterday's power problems explained

"Members,
PNG Power has sent notification that the persistent load shedding is due to 3 machines being down at their Ramu Power Station.
This has also been compounded by loss of transmission between Goroka & Kundiawa.
PNG Power has not given us a time frame as to how long the load shedding will take place. Business houses are reminded to have alternative power supply arrangements to avoid ongoing disruption.
Kind Regards,Lae Chamber of Commerce Inc."


Power went off yesterday at 7.30am and then there was intermittent power during the day until finally it came back on at 6.10pm. I went in to the Vanda restaurant - first time I had been there other than for Sunday brunch one time. I had the chowder and the rack of lamb. Very nice! Thank you.
