St Vincent (SVG) is experiencing another island-wide blackout. This is the second nation wide outage in a week. The sole electricity company, Vinlec, said in a release:
“We are aware of a service interruption affecting several areas on the mainland, St. Vincent”
“Our teams are working to actively identify the cause of the interruption and restore power to all customers affected as soon as possible”.
“We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and will provide updates as more information becomes available.”
