Kralendijk- October 31th, 2023 – In the late afternoon hours of October 30th, there was a power outage in some neighborhoods in Bonaire. This was due to scarcity of production capacity at the power production facility at Karpata.
Due to the fallout of production capacity at the CGB facility, Water -en Energiebedrijf Bonaire (WEB) had to disconnect certain areas at 4:26 pm and applied a temporary rotating disconnection schedule for Belnem, Nikiboko and Rincon. By 6:30 pm power was restored in these neighborhoods and subsequently Tera Kòrá, Hato, Nort di Saliña and Kaminda Gurubu were disconnected until 9:00 pm.
Even though measures have been taken to restore stability, the electricity production supply will remain delicate for the time being. The demand and capacity of electricity will continue to be monitored to ensure that the situation remains stable.
If necessary, the rotating disconnection schedule will be communicated and implemented.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.
