Electricity has been restored to all customers across Grand Cayman.

As you are aware, we experienced a major power outage yesterday (July 25^th). This outage was the result of a fault which occurred on the transmission system at the Hydesville Substation in West Bay.  This caused several of our generating units to shut down and resulted in an island wide outage.  Power was restored to all customers by 8:30 pm.

Vice President Transmission Mr. Andrew Small says, “Island-wide outages such as what was experienced yesterday occur from time to time on small island power systems such as in Grand Cayman. As a result of the restoration to date there appears to be no major equipment damage from the outage which will impact customer reliability.”

As CUC continues to restore its system to normal operations from the island wide outage, there may be some minor service interruptions within the next 48 hours not to exceed one hour in outage time for each outage where possible.

CUC sincerely apologises for the inconvenience this outage caused to our customers.
