Two Weeks More of Power Outage Rationing in Palau
Just today we have received a call informing us that there will be 2-week extention of power outages in Palau. As published on the newspapers, PPUC's three small power engines in Malakal Plant are down as well as one engine in Aimeliik Plant. The remaing engines that are operating generates a total of about 10 megawatts, not enough to supply the whole of Palau which consumes about 11 megawatts on peak hours.A new power outage rationing schedule has been sent. Ikelau hamlet, where Palau Hotel is located is scheduled to experience power interruption from 9:00pm - 1:00 am for the next two weeks or until further notice. Palau Hotel has recently purchased a new power generator to supply temporary power to the whole building.
It was reported that PPUC has procured for new parts that would be used to replace the broken ones on the power engines, but it would take a few more weeks for it to arrive in Palau, however PPUC is doing what they can to speed up the arrival of such parts.

just an update: power went off last night around 8:00pm and came back on around 9:15pm (same night huh). Well, an hour of no power is betten than 4 hours. PPUC has got to do much better. We aim for no more power interruption in the future.
