Montserrat Utilities Limited (MUL) would like to express our sincere apologies for the interruption to electricity service today, August 17, 2021.

Montserrat Utilities Limited has announced that technical issues on Tuesday led to frequent power outages across the island.

In a statement sent to ZJB News MUL said it has five diesel generators.

As of the start of day, Tuesday, two of the generators were down for repairs.

A third generator started experiencing synchronizing issues and later the loss of a
compressor.

The power company says throughout the day, two generators have been working with
occasional synchronizing problems. 

In order to deal with these glitches, reduced load was needed, resulting in load shedding.

MUL says it is hopeful that an additional generator will be operational late on Wednesday 18th August that will result in its ability to meet the total island load.

MUL is apologizing to customers and the public in general for the service interruptions experienced on Tuesday.
