50 percent of generation load has been restored to the island after power was knocked out during Typhoon Mangkhut.

Guam Power Authority crews have worked around the clock to energize feeders and have been divided into sectors to systematically address grid repairs. Most repairs to transmission lines have been completed allowing crews to repair the distribution lines that feed power directly to island homes and businesses.

GPA Spokesperson Art Perez said lines crews are focusing on the following areas this morning:

Barrigada: Leyang Road, Radio Barrigada, lower Barrigada Heights, Rev and Tax area

Chalan Pago

Dededo: pocket areas within the village, Kaiser, South Liguan, Ysengsong, Machanao, Wusstig Road, and Rt. 3

Mangilao: Tai Road

Tamuning: Harmon Loop Road, St. John's area, Harmon Industrial area

Yigo: Simon Sanchez, Chalan La Chance, Mataguac

Yona: Ylig River, Pulantat, village

Perez said the list of areas being restored is "fluid" as crews make their rounds. He said GPA is aware of the areas that remain without power.

The agency appreciates the patience of residents.
