POWER RESTORATION UPDATE

Bahamas Power and Light say they’ve restored 83% of New Providence’s power and that they still expect full restoration by the end of this week. I did hear an appeal from them earlier for home owners who have difficult access to their properties to allow their linesmen to get through, so that they can restore power to them. Apparently some residents’ gates are locked or they have dogs protecting their homes.

Some friends of ours say that they were advised by the former power company, BEC, some time ago when street lights were installed in their street, to bring their electricity connection forwards from the back of their property, which they did.

BPL also says that 65% power has been restored to North and Central Andros.

  1. They had a lot of work out there to do and I'm glad more and more people are having the power restored, finally.

    1. Yes, they sure did! The linesmen have worked really hard. So glad everyone is gradually getting connected.

    1. Gradually! Another problem here is that they have so many overhead power lines.
