GPA Media Release - GPA Crews Continue Repairs Throughout the Island as Conditions Allow

(Fadian, Mangilao) - This evening, Guam Power Authority (GPA) line crews continue to actively address power related issues and restore service throughout the island in northern, central and southern sectors until it is determined that conditions are no longer safe for repairs.

Power outages and fluctuations occurred as the weather began to deteriorate this evening. Restoration of power service are being conducted as conditions allow throughout the night.

Line crews will stand down when the line supervisors out in the field determine it is necessary, and increased weather conditions make it unsafe to continue repairs.

During extreme weather conditions, Trouble Dispatchers will receive calls for emergency power situations such as down energized (sparking) lines, damaged poles or blown transformers. 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. If such conditions are present, please immediately report this situation to GPA's 24-Hour Trouble Dispatch at 671-475-1472/3/4 or via direct message on GPA’s Facebook page. Please provide the exact location or address, contact information and condition of location.

GPA appreciates the community’s patience and understanding as line crews work to safely restore power.

Customers are encouraged to follow Guam Power Authority, Guam Homeland Security/Office of Civil Defense, and National Weather Service Guam on social media for the latest updates.
