Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) has stepped up efforts to remove illegal electricity connections from its network, with exercises conducted on Monday in four communities.
Through its Loss Reduction Department, GPL carried out operations in Stanleytown and Princess Elizabeth in New Amsterdam, Budhan Scheme in West Canje, and Swan on the East Bank Demerara.
The exercises were aimed at identifying and removing illegal connections, which GPL said can overload transformers and feeders, damage network infrastructure, and contribute to equipment failures and power disruptions.
