GRIDCo said its engineers and system operators have activated established restoration procedures and are working in coordination with other stakeholders within the power sector to bring the system back to normal operation as quickly and safely as possible.
The company explained that the restoration process is being carried out cautiously to prevent further disruptions and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment involved.
