Kranget Islande power

Krangket Island lights switched on at last

PNG Power switched the power supply back to the island which is just a stone throw from Madang Town, on February 10.

On March 2015, electricity was switched off because the submarine cables were damaged due to excessive forces caused by strong sea currents over the years.

PPL chief executive officer Alex Oa in a statement said, the electricity company was unable to fix the problem because of limited supplies of underwater cables to repair the damage.
