THE Power Availability in Honiara City has been reduced to about 10MW due to reduction in the Transmission Capacity from Lungga Power Station.
This means that we are not able to meet the demand due to a technical fault on one of our Step Up (11kV/33kV) Transformers at Lungga Power Station. Assessments have been carried out to determine the extent of the fault. It will take time to establish the condition of the Transformer and ascertain the work required to get the fault fixed.
Solomon Power would like to convey its sincerest apologies to all its valued customers in Honiara City for the load shed. Due to the reduction in capacity we are unable to meet the power demand, especially during the day, we have had to implement a load shed schedule. This means that some areas will have no power for a certain period of time.
Solomon Power is doing all it can to restore the Transformer so that the power can be normalized, however, this will take time and we thank all our customers for your patience and understanding.
