Do traffic lights have any kind of backup power for instances like this? Was hearing on the radio about a few traffic lights not functioning in the East and the resulting traffic.

The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited

Press Release

For Immediate Distribution

During the past 24 hours, NGC has received an unusually high level of liquids from our gas supply network. This has resulted in a restriction in the gas distributed to T&TEC and to some of our other customers. The restriction to T&TEC, which started at approximately 7:00 a.m., will be normalized no later than 10:00 a.m.

NGC regrets any inconvenience resulting from this situation and assures the public that gas supply for electricity generation remains our highest priority.

For further information:

The problem of slugs of liquids causing disruptions in gas supplies is directly related to the shift in the quality of gas supplies as wells mature and the inability of the maintenance systems to control same.
What is surprising is that the Phoenix Plant was actually installed partially to assist with the management ot entrained liquids and it seems as if things over the last 2 years or so have gone out of 'wack'.
The 'incident' experienced this morning if true means we are entering a particularly troubling phase of our gas condition and $ losses and disruptions are going to increase.
This same situation arose in the mid 80's and claims were flying between NGC and customers on a regular basis.
What is obvious break downs in the efficiency of service providers is becomung a norm,tele in a mess,water in a mess and now energy supplies could become difficult to sustain at approp. levels of efficiency.
In the face of global economic challenges T&T seems to be unable to get up to speed to mount a fight for survival.
Whilst Rome on fire all man-jack seem to be playing with fire-works!
