The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) has confirmed that crews are actively working to restore electricity following an island-wide power outage caused by a fault on the Cassada #2 Feeder near a substation, according to Antigua News Room.

APUA's Electricity Business Unit said the fault triggered a brief collapse of the electrical system, resulting in widespread disruptions across the island.

The utility authority stated that restoration efforts are well underway and that service is expected to be fully returned within approximately one and a half to two hours.

APUA issued an apology for the inconvenience caused and extended thanks to customers for their patience and understanding as crews work to safely bring the system back to normal operations.
