11:00 [Drill] Coloane Power Station has completed the “black start procedure” and power supply gradually resumes

Current power status: power interruption in some areas

A citywide blackout occurred earlier in Macau, as the Mainland Guangdong Power Grid (GPG) interconnection to Macau was damaged by Severe Typhoon Electric Dragon, and the generators in the Coloane Power Station also tripped off. Following the blackout, CEM activated the “black start procedure” and successfully resumed power supply for some customers who are mainly critical customers such as public utilities, security departments, hospitals, telecom and water supply companies, and so forth. GPG is sparing no effort to repair the damage, while CEM is staying in close contact with them and monitoring the supply load.

While the power supply is still unstable and insufficient, CEM strongly calls for support to save electricity from citizens whose power has been restored, so that more citizens can have their power restored as well.
