AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Power Restored After Storm Fault: Severe weather triggered an underground fault on Feeder 1, knocking out electricity for many on the east side from Leloaloa to Onenoa; ASPA dispatched crews despite heavy rain and got power back around 12:30 PM, with a Fuel Surcharge Shock: ASPA also announced higher electricity rates starting May, with residential jumping from 38 to 46 cents per kWh as fuel costs drive most of the system rate. Water Safety Update: Fagamalo’s water is back for cooking and bathing, but a Boil Water Notice remains in effect until ASEPA clears the latest samples. Emergency Response Overhaul: ASTCA says it will take over the 911 call center from DPS, sending operators overseas for training and rolling out more CCTV across government properties. Deep-Sea Mining Pushback: Finafinau and partners are collecting signatures for a letter to the Fono urging stronger protections, as officials warn federal steps toward leases could move quickly. Pacific Games Venue Shift: Sailing and va’a events were moved to Mulifanua after wreckage concerns in Vaiusu Bay.
