T&TEC ... what going on???

[IdleMind2504]

Any idea what is happening? Hearing reports of power losses and dips all over Trinidad

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

had a major fluctuation in Chaguanas just now.
lights blinked a few times and then there was a brownout for about 5 seconds - but it came back on.

Heard there was a power loss in Diego Martin for about 20 mins

[maj. tom]

This is how i just discovered that Forza is sheit

[brickman]

Lights went out about half hour ago in Belmont,it is getting ridiculous now with this almost weekly/every few days blackout sh!t.

That's what you get for not paying the arrears that people work for I mean that's it's wrong but what would you do if the past government frigged around with the hard earned tax payers money .................. Like seriously

[bluestarz9]

cutting back on power it seems too!

[IdleMind2504]

I was wondering if this was the 7%

[IdleMind2504]

[sylphy_titan]

A line conditioner is a better investment than a surge protector.

[ismithx]

^^ agreed.

[Daran]

No power st Clair. Over 2 hours now.

[brickman]

Always unplug my stuff when there is a blackout & wait 10 minutes before i plug them in when it comes back in,surge protector or not.

Yep. The breakermatic does that automatically

it has to be rated with enough wattage though

[redmanjp]

It's back in POS (Edward St.)

[pugboy]

Gone again in many places

[brickman]

Just went for about 5 minutes,hope this sh!t doesn't keep happening all night.

[playerskrew]

3-4 times a week current keep going for about 2-3 mins approx 3am. Wtf

[wagonon20's]

Keeps hppening :(, signs of hard times ahead

this is due to the decommissioning of power gen POS , T&TEC is currently doing test to see if the pwer grid will survive without the POS power station , currently they cannot .... fire was due to overloading ... blame PNM again ...

expect more outages as test continues ...

[MG Man]

anyone knows who is contracted to decommission the POS plant?

its stil in the process of tenders ..... expect a PNM contractor ... and well Mittal close so no profits from all that metal from the plant
