St. Thomas-St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands – The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (“WAPA” or “the Authority”) advises customers of planned service interruptions tonight, Wednesday, October 28, as maintenance is performed on GE Unit 27.
The maintenance is scheduled from approximately 10:30 p.m. tonight until 5:00 a.m. Depending on customer demand during the maintenance period, customers served by the following feeders may experience service interruptions:
These planned interruptions are in addition to the rotating outages already affecting the St. Thomas-St. John district due to other generating units being offline for repairs. With GE Unit 27 temporarily out of service for maintenance, available generation will be further reduced during this period, and interruptions may be necessary to balance electricity supply with customer demand.
Customers are encouraged to plan accordingly and sign up for WAPA Alerts to receive outage notifications.
WAPA recognizes that service interruptions can be inconvenient and appreciates customers’ understanding as this important maintenance is performed.
