Generator problem on Engine No. 8 in Power Plant 1 in Lower Base triggered another round of power outages in some areas on Saipan yesterday.

Commonwealth Utilities Corp. spokesperson Pamela Mathis told [I]Saipan Tribune[/I] that the mechanical problem in the generator resulted in two outages.

Mathis said the first outage that occurred at 8am in Garapan lasted until 10:30am.

Mathis said the outage was shifted to Chalan Pale Arnold (Middle Road) at 10:30am.

“It’s anticipated that it would be repaired very shortly,” the CUC spokesperson stated.

It was not clear what time the power was back in Chalan Pale Arnold.
