Things will get better when BPL workers do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay, BPL management becomes competent, political parties stop using BPL to employ their supporters and when Bahamians start paying their bills on time and in full, without stealing electricity.

IE: never.

Baha Mar is lit up every night like a palace while Bahamians are left in darkness to suffer in sweltering heat. Yes indeed, Minnis is doing all he possibly can to make sure it's the foreign people's time. And we sure don't hear him singing anymore about how it's gonna be the Bahamian people's time. He swing Bahamian voters big time with all his sweet talk about Rock with Doc. What a joke! LMAO

Baha Mar will be lit up..because they were diligent with their investigations into this country's sub-par customer service in every service area imaginable, and have a generator farm for the inevitable reality we are experiencing with BPL and their load-shedding BS.

Although this was an “anomaly”, according to Mr Moxey, he apologised for the “unacceptable” widespread load shedding, which grossly inconvenienced thousands of customers.

LMAO

First off WHY DID WE EVER PUT The power company in the hands of a foreign management? What was the benefit? It appears the country had gone generations backwards in terms of power generation. And an unstable or inadequate supply of power affects everything else in a country. When unrest erupted in Venezuela the first thing that went down was the power. The reports were that the government under drive was intentionally disrupting the power to make the people suffer. The government response was that US forces who supported the opposition and were helping to try overthrow the seated government were sabotaging the electricity grid. Why is there an attempt to have less and less Bahamians trained and qualified and able to run this country’s power supply? They have been doing it for decades and even when there was union unrest, the power disruptions were never this severe, this long ladting or so far reaching. Is it coincidence that Bimini that has a booming economy is having similar challenges with power supply? Secondly, WHY is BEC so cash strapped and seems to be losing money when it cannot meets the demand for its power? This means BEC is operating beyond full capacity. When oil prices dropped from $150 plus a barrel to under $40 a barrel, it was suggested that BPL hold its fuel surcharges constant for a year. This would have allowed it to generate in excess of $100 million to replace at least one major generators. But instead the situation has deteriorated where the lights are still off and Bahamians are paying even more for electricity. The conclusion of any right thinking person is this entire fiasco at BPL is by design. It is intended to fraustrate the public, disrupt persons lives stagnate the economy and drive up the cost of living to a point that electricity is a luxury and not affordable by many Bahamians. Government needs to take the power company back. Neither Power Secure or BPL has demonstrated they have good intentions for the Bahamas or the Bahamian people. Where there is intelligence there should also be counter intelligence and common sense

If BOL was operating in the USA like they are doing here, the entire board would be dismissed (again) and the total management team fired!

The government did take the power company back and cancelled the contract w Power secure , they only managed it for barely 4 years . @John at least get the facts right before you cut the cloth to fit your bias ..After nearly 50 years of independence we have proven we can not provide reliable power at an affordable price .It is past time to put it in someone else hands like BTC .@John you are right I lived in the U S for twenty years the power went off twice , once for hurricane Andrew and once for a transformer upgrade in the area I lived

Banister the masterful liar that he is, the best he could do is say it was worse
under the PLP. when the record speaks for itself.

Banister should be quite ashamed of himself, to be spinning while people suffer
But this is typical of Banister, Ms. Osbourne said he lied on her.

I totally agree with Maynard on this statement he made:

“Until Bahamians get together and stop this red and yellow and green and say we ain’t taking this bull, we going to Bay Street and when they see 50,000 people downtown, they’ll say they serious now.”

This party affiliated acceptance of how varying governments handle our country's business is appalling...the number of power outages is ridiculous, and we seem to be sitting, complaining, but not acting. I'm researching options that can be pursued in light (no pun intended) of BPL's poor service, especially being a customer that honors my 50% of the contract between BPL and myself--by paying my bill on time, and in full...but BPL is not honoring their 50% which is to provide reliable/commendable service.

Where is Whitney Bastian? Probably wishing he were back in Freeport!
Maynard is a part of the problem also. In fact, any of the management/union/ministers who speak to BEC/BPL are a part of the problem.
Thoroughly INCOMPETENT. As to marching down Bay St, we know what happened last time: the two most vocal got government appointed and shut up.

So what are the Unions bragging that they have caused all these blackouts and that they are now the root cause of the worst blackouts anywhere? So basically everyone who's saying F BPL on line should be saying Fluck the Unions!!! about time.... thanks for nothing again BPL unions why do you think you should get more when you can't even come close to the status quo?

Hey new idea- until shell gets here- place 20 armed defense force officers at the generator plants to log all activity and ensure no more arson or BS. Swipe the slate clean otherwise - national emergency- probably yes in any other country.
