Guyana Power and Light Incorporated (GPL) says a major power outage on Friday follows a trip of the L2 transmission line and that it suspects deliberate sabotage. Multiple outlets report that the disruption leaves several areas without electricity and that GPL points to suspicious circumstances around the incident.
According to GPL statements carried by the outlets, the L2 line runs parallel to the L4 line between the Grove and Sophia substations. INews Guyana adds a specific incident time—about 08:12 hrs—and describes the trip as causing a significant loss of supply to the grid and widespread outages across the service area. Other coverage similarly attributes the outage to the L2 transmission line trip and focuses on GPL’s suspicion of sabotage.
Across the reports, the core narrative is consistent: GPL raises concerns that the transmission line was tampered with, and the trip triggered broad disruptions. The main differences are in the amount of operational detail provided and the emphasis on inspection timing.
