The Trinidad and To­ba­go Elec­tric­i­ty Com­mis­sion (T&TEC) says the na­tion­al grid re­mains sta­ble de­spite two re­cent volt­age dips that af­fect­ed parts of the coun­try.

In a state­ment, the util­i­ty said the mo­men­tary fluc­tu­a­tions oc­curred on Ju­ly 25 around 7 p.m. and again on Ju­ly 28 around 2 p.m. Both in­ci­dents were traced to sep­a­rate faults along the 132 kV trans­mis­sion cir­cuits be­tween Brechin Cas­tle and Point Lisas.

T&TEC said pro­tec­tive sys­tems kicked in as ex­pect­ed, lim­it­ing the dis­rup­tion and pre­vent­ing wider out­ages. The faults were ad­dressed by tech­ni­cal crews short­ly af­ter.
