Key Sites Restored
RESTORATION STATUS
CUSTOMERS RESTORED:
All parishes now have customers restored in some sections. Notable progress continues to be made in western parishes that were hardest hit by Hurricane Melissa, with several customers having been restored. However, widespread damage requires major network rebuilding, which is under way.
- As of Friday March 6, 2026, approximately 99% of customers have supply. Approximately 1% of customers remain without power, down from 77% at the start of restoration.
- Work continues across the island, with priority still being given to critical sites, economic zones, and town centres in the hardest hit parishes.
DAMAGE ASSESSMENT: Damage assessment has now been completed on 100% of distribution feeders, and also on the transmission network and substations.
