Hundreds of Barbadians are dealing with a power outage which has affected mostly householders in St Thomas and St Lucy.

The outage occurred just before 9 a.m. and is being worked on immediately, an official of the Barbados Light and Power has confirmed with the NATION.
“The fault has been identified, and crews are working on it as we speak,” the official said, though being unable to determine how long before full electrical power would be restored.
