The Commonwealth Utilities Corp. would like to inform the general public that due to mechanical problems on engine No. 3 at power plant 1, the power plants are not able to adequately meet the island’s power demand.

Therefore, the load shedding schedule for May 20 and 21, 2008 was implemented at 10:30am and will continue until the emergency repairs are completed. However, as a result of the generation loss, the outages have been expanded to include other areas of the electrical grid as the emergency repairs are being performed.

The repairs are expected to be completed tomorrow afternoon.

The CUC apologizes for any inconvenience and will continue to work diligently to resolve the problem. [B][I](CUC)[/I][/B]
