The cause of the power outage is due to a mechanical fault to a PNG Power generator that has taken this long to fix.  PPL Kerema Manager, Dos Ipanda in March had assured town residents that the generator was experiencing faults due to damaged engine parts; and PPL would make purchase of the spare parts abroad. Since then the power blackouts still continues into the month of June, as town residents don't know when power will be restored. The Kerema hospital morgue has been affected, schools in town cannot operate normally due to the outage as cost of diesel and petrol prices are too high to get their generators operating.
