Class Four Power has been lost at the Point Lepreau Generating Station due to a fault on the isolated phase bus. That provides power to the unit station transformer and to add insult to injury, the alternative power supply is unavailable as it is under-going maintenance. Spokes-person Kathleen Duguay tells CHSJ News, employee's have been sent home but no word on how many.
She says those don't employees working in the dark but, some workers may help in restoring power.
Duguay says a full assessment as to what caused the outage is underway and no word on when full power will be re-stored.
