De­spite fears of pow­er out­ages, Trinidad Gen­er­a­tion Un­lim­it­ed (TGU) says the sched­uled up­grade work at its Union Es­tate Plant, which ne­ces­si­tat­ed a to­tal plant shut­down, has been suc­cess­ful­ly com­plet­ed and the plant is now ful­ly back on­line.

Ear­li­er this week when the planned shut­down was an­nounced, TGU ex­plained oth­er pow­er pro­duc­ers would take over its load.

Now, Pow­er­Gen and Co­tour­Glob­al Trin­i­ty have been in­struct­ed to re­turn to nor­mal op­er­a­tions.

Ac­cord­ing to a re­lease, Min­is­ter of Pub­lic Util­i­ties, Mar­vin Gon­za­les thanked the three IPPs for the col­lab­o­ra­tive work done to al­low for the smooth com­ple­tion of TGU’s up­grade works. He al­so ex­pressed his com­men­da­tion to all em­ploy­ees and part­ners who worked to en­sure that all process­es went as planned and no out­ages were re­quired, even with the coun­try’s pri­ma­ry pow­er plant be­ing shut down.

"We are al­so grate­ful to cus­tomers for their as­sis­tance by man­ag­ing their con­sump­tion," he said.
