APUA; St. John’s, Antigua, 15 September 2026 – The system-wide electricity outage experienced earlier this afternoon originated at Antigua Power Company (APC), where cables connected to the No. 5 generator developed a fault and subsequently caught fire. Electricity service has since been fully restored to all customers.

The No. 5 generator provides approximately 15 MW of power to the electricity system. The sudden loss of this generation caused a significant disruption to the system, resulting in the widespread outage.

Antigua Power Company is the power generation company that supplies electricity to APUA for distribution to customers across Antigua. Throughout the incident, APUA remained in close communication and coordination with APC as its team assessed and addressed the generation issue.

APC subsequently provided alternative generation from its LNG plant, allowing electricity supply to be progressively restored across the network.

This was an unforeseen incident, and both APUA and APC regret the inconvenience caused. We thank our customers for their patience and understanding throughout the outage and restoration process.
