Dominica Electricity Services (DOMLEC) says it is investigating an island-wide power outage that leaves customers across Dominica without electricity. In an initial statement on Facebook posted Thursday afternoon, the utility acknowledges the widespread loss of power and says it is working to determine what caused the disruption.
Later updates indicate that DOMLEC begins restoring electricity to sections of the island after the outage disrupts service late Friday morning. The company provides customer updates describing that power restoration is underway in parts of Dominica, while the rest of the network remains affected as the investigation and repair work continue.
Across the reporting, the timeline centers on a major, island-wide outage followed by phased restoration efforts. Both updates come from DOMLEC communications to customers, with the first focused on confirming the outage and initiating investigation, and the second focused on starting restoration to specific areas.
