PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDATE RELEASE

TOTAL OUTAGE OF ALL POWER SUPPLY FOR HONIARA

SIEA is currently experiencing a complete shutdown of all gen sets at the main Lungga Power House. Lungga supplies power to the whole Honiara district.

The outage occurred as a result of the Wartsila get set shutting down. This shut down the whole system and workers have as yet been unable to restart the system or supply power through any generators.

This is of great concern to SIEA as SIEA is unable to supply power to Honiara and it is not known when power will be restored.
SIEA staff are working hard to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

SIEA encourages the public, especially businesses to consider this a serious power situation and take necessary standby measures.

SIEA advises public to remember to treat all lines as live as power can be restored without warning.

Further updates will be provided on this issue.

Public Relations, SIEA.

Tuesday Night Whole of Honiara Power Outage Update

WHOLE HONIARA POWER OUTAGE LAST NIGHT
26/10/11

Late yesterday evening, around 9pm, Honiara experienced a total power outage. This situation was unrelated to the event that took place with the Kukum Transformer on Monday night.

One of the gen sets at Lungga was running over its safe speed which made the Mechanical Over-Speed Unit shut the engine down. This caused increased load to the other gen set in turn automatically shutting them down to avoid any damage and causing the outage last night.

Currently Lungga Power Station is running one gen set below capacity. The previous load shedding schedule will be continued until all gen sets are ready to run again safely.

Update on Kukum Transformer

UPDATE: PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
POWER IN KUKUM AREA
11.24AM 25/10/11

An SIEA transformer near Supreme (in the Pacific Casino area at Kukum) caught alight just before 4pm yesterday causing extensive damage to the transformer. SIEA is relieved to report that no injury occurred in relation to this incident.

The areas supplied by this transformer Mbu Valley, Honiara City Council, Labour Line, Kukum Market, Kukum Sea Front Shops) experienced a complete power outage.

Power was restored to most areas by around 12pm last night by connecting them to other transformers in the area and in this manner sharing the power load around. The transformers stationed at Vura, Bahai and St Nicholas hav e been used. Power was able to be restored to the Kukum Market area.

The voltage supply to connect the Kukum Sea Front shops is too low to make power reconnection possible. The shops running close to Barrack store are currently running on standby power supplied by the Pacific Casino.

Customers in the Kukum/Hot Bread/SDA area through to Mbu Valley may experience low voltage at this time.

Distribution workers at SIEA are currently working hard to restore power to the remaining areas. The Sea Front Shops area remains without power. At best, remaining areas may receive power by late tomorrow afternoon.

SIEA wishes to remind the public to treat all lines as live at all times as power can return at any time.

Further updates on this situation will be provided.
