A NUMBER of residents in New Providence were left without power yesterday for hours, with BPL reporting the cause was faulty transformers.

BPL teams were sent out after supply disruptions in the Eastern Road, Gleniston Gardens, Kent Avenue and Seabreeze Lane areas.

However, residents reported that power had been out for much of the day, with some areas having been powerless for eight hours or more.

Yesterday evening, BPL reported that two transformers needed to be replaced and that the process would “be a while”.
