Normal power supply in Port Moresby was restored on Easter Saturday after the fault was identified on late Friday afternoon.

Parliament resumes at 10am tomorrow

The fault was located between Kanudi and Moitaka after a line patrol was conducted.

It was found that there was a conductor causing the short circuiting when PPL was trying to restore power supply during the four days of load shedding.

The fault was isolated and could not pick up on the PPL system control and was only located when linesmen conducted a patrol of all transmission lines between Kanudi and Moitaka.

Customers still experiencing power outages are encouraged to call the National Call Centre on 7090 8000 or 7653 5261.

Margies told Loop PNG that this was the main issue raised by disgruntled workers in the meeting they held yesterday calling on management to meet with them on Monday and address issues of positions and housing removals in the past few months.

He says that under the new board chairman John Mangos “tyrannical style of management”, workers are uncomfortable as they are being taken out of their homes and moved around on their jobs with no prior notice.
