GPA reports 99% power system restoration, focuses on remaining outages

The Guam Power Authority issued its final power system restoration update reporting 99% of system load has been reached to the Islande-Wide Power System.

The post-Typhoon Chami recovery update is as of 7 a.m., Thursday. According to GPA, crews are working to address "all isolated typhoon-related power issues and outages throughout the island."

"This includes all customers reporting power failures or intermittencies due to power fluctuations, low/high voltage, single phasing, etc. while closing out emergency work clearances that require customer-side repairs," GPA said.

During this stage GPA is focused in part on "power quality" and "streetlight issues" ahead of Halloween festivities.

To report streetlight damage contact GPA's Customer Call Center at (671) 647-5787/88/89, email at customersfirst@gpagwa.com or send a direct message to GPA's Facebook page. Please provide address and location.

Emergency power issues can be reported to GPA Dispatch at (671) 475-1472/3/4.

"GPA’s continued priority is to restore energy back into your homes and businesses and return the island-wide power system (IWPS) online at full capacity," GPA said.
