PNG Power is implementing emergency load shedding in Wewak due to a significant shortfall in power generation. This comes after a major technical breakdown affected four generators at the Wewak PowerStation, according to PNG Power Limited Acting CEO Nehemaiah Naris. To address the issue, technical teams from Port Moresby will arrive in Wewak this Friday, August 16th, with essential spare parts to conduct necessary maintenance on the faulty generators. Currently, only three operational generators are supplying power, which totals about 1.8 megawatts, falling short of the province's peak demand of 4 megawatts. The shortfall has necessitated a 4-hour interval load shedding schedule, details of which are available on PPL's social media sites. PNG Power anticipates that power supply reliability will improve by early next week following the maintenance work. In the interim, PNG Power urges customers, particularly businesses and those with backup generators, to rely on alternative power sources until the situation is resolved.
