Testing is ongoing for the 47-megawatt LNG power plant built by Antigua Power Company Ltd. in partnership with Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA).<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

APUA is collaborating with APCL to optimize commissioning for the 5-engine plant.<\/p>\n

A recent outage, caused by a mechanical failure during a performance test, revealed a capacity gap.<\/p>
