Power System Status Restoration and Power Related Updates
(Fadian, Mangilao) – The Guam Power Authority (GPA) continues its power restoration process and have made some progress to its post-typhoon recovery. In an effort to keep the public updated, we’ll continue to provide a recovery summary that summarizes our restoration progress to the Island-Wide Power System (IWPS).
Impacts from ST Bavi - Recovery Summary
As of 8:00 a.m., Tuesday, July 7, 2026
| IWPS | Percentage |
|---|---|
| System Load Restored | 14% |
| GPA Substations Energized | 63% |
| GPA Feeders/Circuits Energized | 22% |
Notes:
No Feeders/circuits can be energized unless GPA Substation is energized.
System Load percentage increases as GPA feeders/circuits percentage increases.
*** Feeders/Circuits are partially energized ***
Feeders/Circuits: A total of 15 feeders/circuits are partially energized today of the 67 distribution feeders/circuits.
Substations: A total of 19 critical substations energized of the 30 total major GPA substations.
Generation Capacity: 255 MW system capacity (not including solar farms) online, supporting 28 MW load today as of 8am.
Today’s Key Objectives and Other Power Related Updates:
- Engineers and line crews will begin full assessments and restoration efforts today. This begins the recovery phase of the IWPS around Guam.
- Initial priorities of our GPA crews include working on transmission lines to energize all substations and address water well issues.
- GPA does not anticipate any generation capacity shortage, and plans to restore power service using the remaining base load and reserve units.
For Customers Who Remain Without Power
- Customers may be on feeders that have not yet been energized
- In some areas, power may be restored to main lines while additional repairs are still needed on transformers, service lines, or customer connections
- Customers may also be experiencing isolated damage that requires crews to return after main circuits are restored
- If surrounding areas have power, customers may be part of a smaller outage pocket
- GPA is aware of all customer outages through its Advanced Metering Infrastructure, or Smart Meter Network, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. These systems allow GPA to confirm where power has been restored, identify customers still without service, and locate smaller outage pockets within villages
- Customers are asked to limit calls to the GPA Dispatch Center (PSCC) to critical issues such as downed power lines, blown transformers, low voltage conditions, or other situations that may present a safety concern
Please stay away from all down lines and equipment as they may still be energized and can cause harm if you come in contact with the lines or equipment. Consider such situations as dangerous and life threatening. To report downed power lines, contact GPA Trouble Dispatch at (671) 475-1472 / 1473 /1474. Customers may also email customersfirst@gpagwa.com or send a direct message on GPA’s Facebook or Instagram page. Please provide the exact location or address, contact information and condition of location when submitting your report.
GPA understands that residents are eager to have service fully restored and thanks the community for the outpouring of support shown to crews working in villages across the island. Residents are asked to allow crews to work unimpeded. While crews understand the urgency and concerns, stopping them to ask about restoration timelines delays progress and creates safety risks. Allowing crews to continue their work and focus on their tasks at hand while concentrating on repairs will help ensure power is restored as quickly and safely as possible.
GPA will continue providing updates as restoration efforts progress.
GPA thanks our customers for their patience and asks for their continued support as we work to bring our IWPS back to normal operations as quickly as possible.
