How do we stop blackouts in PNG?

IS anyone in PNG Power Ltd (PPL) able to answer the following technical questions and respond to comments regarding reliability issues?

WHAT are the causes of frequent blackouts in Port Moresby and other centres?
WHAT measures are used to set the protection relays?
HOW often should these measures be practised in the life-span of any electricity supplier?
WHAT causes voltage collapse in low impedance sections?
WHAT would be the consequences of the Government’s rural electrification programme on PPL’s distribution system nationwide if technical issues are left unchecked?
REGARDING generation of the wattless power (vars – oscillating power between a generator and the load, KVr or MVr), is it good for the power system?
HOW do we control this under system load conditions?
WHAT should done to avoid instability when it comes to connecting new consumers?
WHAT would be the consequences of low power factor caused by the inductive load current lagging the voltage, on the electrical hardware and equipment in power supply distribution systems?
WHAT should be done to ensure that there are no blackouts?
WHO tells the power station operators or the system controllers to direct the power station operators to start a generator or shutting them down after peak load?
IS it possible to monitor consumers connected to a power system in any day? If yes, then what about the behaviour of consumers on each individual distribution feeder?
WHO monitors consumers?
SHOULD major consumers pay a separate tariff rate for their role in the power system peak loading cycles?
HOW do you relate aging infrastructure, wires and poles to nationwide power supply woes when their related problems should normally be localised?

Any countrywide blackout is not technical a problem, but rather, a human resource problem that stems from a poorly structured establishment.
Why isn’t there competition in electricity supply?
