Work is progressing well on upgrading Tristan's electricity network.

Work is progressing well and we have made good distances in spite of the weather.

We are installing 4 x 200KvA minisubs and 1 x 315 substation, but unfortunately these didn't arrive on the Edinburgh as the ship was full and will only arrive on the next sailing in May. 6.6Kv cables have been laid to the 4 minisubs and supply cables to the Kiosks that will house the breakers for the houses. Service cables have been laid to some of the houses, but no connections have been made. These will probably be connected into the houses towards the end of the work.
