No power in st clair. Low voltage for a 30 seconds then back to normal. Took a walk to the bank and there was no power by that time. Could comfirm the steam by powergen. Prolly took some of the turbines out of service and venting the steam.

Turbines at Port-of-Spain trip...so load shedding taking place until issue can be resolved.

Cause of failure unknown, so resolution time unknown, but estimated at another 30mins
