KIT unit Basslink's undersea cable out of service until October

Singapore

BASSLINK'S undersea electricity cable will be offline until mid-October after a failure in a low voltage metallic return cable caused a trip last Saturday, the Australian subsidiary of mainboard-listed Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT) said on Monday evening.

The failure is located in an above-ground section of the low voltage cable in the Gifford, Victoria tran-sition station, and Basslink is currently preparing a plan for the repair, including further testing which will better inform the return-to-service date.
