PREPA Makes Payment And Whitefish Energy Crews Resume Work To Complete Important Transmission Line Repairs By End Of November
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Nov. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Whitefish Energy issued the following statement today regarding the resumption of work to repair transmission lines on Puerto Rico:
Late afternoon on Wednesday, November 22, PREPA released a payment to Whitefish Energy that was enough to show PREPA's good faith intent to pay Whitefish Energy and its subcontractors for services rendered.
As a result, Whitefish Energy is proud to announce that this morning it resumed critical work on transmission line 50900, which will complete a "loop," that, combined with Whitefish Energy's earlier repairs of lines 50100 and 50200, will allow PREPA to manage the flow of power from the south to the north of the island of Puerto Rico and create redundancy for the demand centers of the north, including the city of San Juan. This need for redundancy was highlighted by the recent temporary outages, which had nothing to do with Whitefish Energy's completed work on those energized lines. This critical work on line 50900 is the type of helicopter-only access work in which Whitefish Energy specializes.
