Brace for periodic supply interruptions to carry out planned improvement exercises in the area???????

Who the hell does BEC think they're fooling?????

This statement by BEC is nothing more than a euphemism.

What they really mean to say is, "we're sorry.... but we're a black owned, black operated, full of shit company. We've always been full of shit; still are full of shit; and always will be full of shit until a white owed, white operated, foreign entity comes and takes over. We sincerely apologize for our incompetence, but our managerial team along with our ground workers happen to be a product of the F average educational system that we've been subjected to, and a direct extension of our two bungling governmental parties. We simply cannot help the fact that your houses are in darkness, because the fact remains, our brains are in darkness too. Again...... we do apologize for any inconvenience caused."

OMG...Cobalt That was right on-perfect.

They could probably add....We have been overspending on fuel which has damaged our credit and therefore have to limit generator run time.

Life in New Providence, Bahamas. You can't make this stuff up.

How is this different? And if this was all per schedule, why was the statement issued "after" the power went out ...again

-:) Something tells me that all of the above live out East. My advise: Buy yinna, ice, salt and non perishable items. Cut back on meats and make sure yinna gat one a dem batt'ry operated fans. Oh ,oh and Kelly's gat them solar lights on sale, just in time for the Christmas/Bahamas Black Friday/BEC event!

You been regress 50 years and get comfortable without having
modern amenities.

**.................................. Waiting on the REAL white saviors *NOT!* ...................................**

Freeport residents cried for and got their wish for "real white people" too, and got them!

Now they have power but can't *afford* the electricity provided by the white people.

Anyone ignorant enough not have seen through government usual procrastination, and pending deterioration of BEC abilities needs to question their own level of intelligence.

Waiting for government and the white people to fix an ongoing 40 year old problem for you obviously was a dumb decision.

Tribune bargain finder has been advertising and selling all kinds of generators for years because after 40 years experience, some people had enough sense to prepare for the inevitable.

People, stop the facile and ignorant white/black crap. White does not ensure competence and black does not mean incompetence, that is a profoundly ignorant statement. Baystreet is owned by white people and you see how that looks- And I come from a good stock of competent, moral and highly accomplished negroes. Lets insist on reasonable, competent and incorruptible people rather than this drivel of racial determination. Living in the east is a difficult because of the frequent blackouts. I have lived there for ten years and have been in a battle with BEC to save appliances and electronics because of frequent brownouts and blackouts. system was supposed to be fixed several years ago but as we see an eastender- a fox hillian no doubt- sold us down the river with his unnamed comrades. Didnt even have the sense to have them used the bad generators in a another part of town.

Yeap...you'd think that with da potcake in our neck of the woods we would be one of the most reliable for power sources...spent THOUSANDS on fried electronics and appliances.

Black, white, red, orange, purple – I don't care. I pay my electricity bill. I live out east. I want my light on. Can it really be that hard?
