Sorry, but they didn't get the memo in my area. We had blackouts from about 3.30 am to 5.00 am this morning (Aug 6th) I know because I woke up sweating and the alarm clock was flashing the time it restarted.

Power out from 12:05am-4:00am this morning, August 6th. A restless, sleepless night here in the east. Wish BEC would stop making announcements that the power will not go out, because as soon as they do--something breaks down. Oh, I did call BEC around 2:30am and heard the recorded message above. Left my phone number and they have called twice this morning to see if the power is back on.

Power out last night AGAIN

The BEC Executive Chairman needs to fire the General Manager since the BEC Minister responsible wouldnot fire the Chairman and the Prime Minister cannot override the Minister ........... but someone needs to get fired .............. fire the workers and start from scratch with high school graduates ................or put fire to the BEC plant .............. just do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say fire the PM and DPM, all parliament and start over. That's the root of the problem. Look at the grass and weeds shooting up on every street corner, the threat of an illegal monetary system threatening our economy. This clownish bumbling isn't limited to BEC

It is not April 1st. why is the Tribune giving us a story that is obviously a joke? On a serious note how about doing a story on how much the incompetence of BEC is COSTING the country? How much money is spent on generators, fuel, upkeep, lost productivity, and the like. Has to be in the MILLIONS. BEC is a drag on the Bahamas,, there is no doubt about that! Another GOVERNMENT FAIL, red and yellow.

I see - so now BEC is in the prediction business. Maybe, just maybe, they should stand outside the main office holding placards similar to those predicting 'The end of the world is near' - and that may just happen before BEC gets its act together!

Oh-oh, I hear thunder.... Everybody charge up your battery powered devices now, you have about 1/2 hour max.

my light is usually off everyday.........it may seem like and over statement , but as anyone that live in Ridgeland Park west or is connected to that corridor

General, are you saying you were in darkness too???

Really??? I thought it was just your brain.

BEC couldn't foresee a cat 5 hurricane....STFU

Comrades has BEC's excuse department simply ran out of lousy excuses or changing its tune, considering the thousand of times lights have suddenly gone-off, the disruptions have all been attributed to generator blowups here and there or lately the generators had ran out fuel? So, now they can predict how BEC's old generators will run for next week? Isn't there anything this government will not put a spin on?

This is what happens when there are too many hands in the cookie jar. Money that should go to capital development, plant maintenance and upgrade ends up in the pockets of individuals then when the company falls apart and its plant is in shambles everyone cry foul and expect miracles.

I fear that it is now time for a revolution.

May I suggest that the Tribune refuse to print stories about BEC officials, whatever their capacity, claiming that there'd be no more power outages? If you need to fill newspaper space, I can send over my neighbour's toddler, and let him play with the keyboard to produce some random gibberish instead.

lies! lies! lies!
