Nationwide Power Outage

[kurpal_v2]

Why is no one asking what is the point of the PM going to the power station? Is it that Powergen needed a lawyer to help them get generator started?

Cus she's an attention whore

So anyone knows what area Energy Minister Kevin Ramnarine lives? I know he's originally from East Trinidad.
Why did he need to drive all the way to Syne village at 5 am when the source of the disruption was at PPGPL in Point Lisas?

INCORRECT TIME as a result of the power outage

Dear readers

Throughout the day I noticed particularly on social media networks, a rather big issue has been made about the time appearing on a clock in a photo with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Energy and Energy Affairs.

As a former Advisor at the Ministry of Energy and Energy Affairs, I sought clarification from colleagues within the industry and I have been able to ascertain that the clock in the photograph was actually a satellite clock which displayed an INCORRECT TIME as a result of the power outage knocking it off temporarily.

I was advised by colleagues in the industry that the occurrence is not unlike what happens in the home when electricity goes off and the time on the microwave or alarm clock must be reset, or, in the case of pulling the battery connection in a car, where you must also reset the time.

Satellite clocks will display random times when power is restored and must be re-calibrated in order for the correct time to be displayed. I am sure you will all agree that resetting the time on the clock was not exactly a priority at the time of the PM’s and Energy Minister’s interventions this morning.

As a matter of fact, I have been able to confirm other information which might set your minds at ease and also perhaps inspire confidence at the rate at which the Government responded to what could have been a major national crisis:

(i) The Prime Minister was the first to respond and rallied the entire Cabinet immediately upon hearing the news shortly after the outage;
(ii) The Prime Minister also immediately mobilised the National Security and Protective Services and placed them on high alert;
(iii) The Prime Minister and Minister of Energy and Energy Affairs arrived at the Powergen Station in Penal at around 5:08am Friday morning to personally oversee the power restoration work underway

Given the response, and the correct information, the Prime Minister, Minister of Energy and Energy Affairs, the security and protective forces, as well as other first response agencies deserve some commendation for demonstrating readiness.

For the sake of allaying fears and quelling any attempt to use a crisis as a platform for misinformation, please share this information widely.

My best wishes to you all

The time code is sent in BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) and indicates minutes, hours, day of the year and year, along with information about daylight savings time and leap years. The time is transmitted using 53 bits and 7 separators, and therefore takes 60 seconds to transmit.

"Comrades!" he cried. "You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for YOUR sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples." (3.14)

dat strange, all this time i was thinking sabotage or human error...cause I would think that there would be control measures and alarms or warning lights in a control room warning the controller that the fuel level was reaching disastrous levels.

Mr Eugene Tiah's response to enquiries by the media supports the view that the gas supply failure originated from NGC and as such questions need to be asked of the company.
Actually PPGPL does not supply gas to any consumer since they are provided 'unprocessed gas' by NGC and after the removal of specific elements they return the now 'cleaned-up' gas to NGC who is the suppliers of natural gas to all domestic consumers.
Its also important to note NGC owns the 'controlling' interest in PPGPL but the operating stds in the plant are set by CONOCO who has a 39% share holding.
Claims from consumers arising from failure of NGC to supply and direct damages suffered by plant and equipment are almost certainly being computed even by PPGPL, and the numbers would continue to be unavailable for public consumption, because the media has always been weak at understanding things related to this industry.
I am always amazed at how little the public knows about the main driver of our economy and that even includes the majority of people employed by same.
Why should we concern ourselves ?
The simple response is that we are now about to face the down-side of failing supply conditions and remedial action which should have been initiated some 5-10 yrs ago was never given the attention it deserved.
All new investors in gas based plants would insist on warrantied supply conditions and this is probably not doable at least for the next 5 yrs, possibly shorter only if we get BP to play ball.
