BANNISTER AND MOXEY MUST GO! They should not have any involvement whatsoever with BPL. Minnis should go too if he continues to tolerate such incomptence from these two individuals who are effectively his appointees.

I neglected to mention that corrupt union leader, Paul Maynard. He too, MUST GO!

We have not been able to provide reliable power since the late 1970,s ,,although we charge some of the highest rates in the region ,,The new Wartsilla engines are a step in the right direction ,,then sign the deal w Shell , weaken the union and turn it over to people who know how to produce electricity ,,ie Shell .I think the forty year failure to provide reliable power at a reasonable price is proof enough we can not do it !!

Buncha incompetents, ALL OF THEM!

DIABOLICAL CUNNING...........spin......IS IT LOAD SHEDDING...????......where the demand for electricity exceeds the stations online functioning mechanical engines and perfectly working engines to deliver. But the functioning working engines cannot produce to all.......
OR............IS 3RD PARA DOWN.......'....this was the result of a mechanical failure of rental units...."......

QUESTION IS ...??????????.....DID DA ENGINE JUS SHUT OFF BROKE DOWN...SILENT.......AN IF MECHANICAL ....THEN WHY CAUSE.......???????.........how many times power is interrupted to nation because of one ting or another...?????

The major news here is the failure was in the RENTAL units. These aren't the 1000 year old broken down machines that are always blamed. This is the new equipment.

In forty years we have proven we can not provide reliable power at a reasonable rate ,,sign the deal w Shell NA and give it to some one who can ..Also when u privatize like the telephone industry it weakens the union b/c the politicians can,t cow tow to them for votes ,,This is too important and industry and for forty years we have failed !!

Anyone who doesn’t think this power fiasco is intentional and purpose driven needs their head checked. Start building your solar grid to run essentials in your home. Lights and fridge. And after a year or two you may have enough panels to run your Ac as well.. or some good batteries to run it at night. Then give BPL da finger rather than your checkbook every month.

Better make sure your solar panels are made anywhere but Red China....and they make more than 90% of them. If they're made in Red China they won't last long enough for you to recover your costs. Red China's government has promised to make Minnis a wealthy man if he can solarize most of the energy needs of the Bahamas using foreign currency borrowings because the Red Chinese have no need for Bahamian monopoly money.

TIDAL POWER IS MORE EFFICIENT AND RELIABLE.....depemd on tidal currents.....and there is no shortage of water tides.........sun dont always shine for solar......but ....but....all da political leaders....living on any island....surrounded bu water.....grow up as children being on beaches knowing on tides...tidal current...lowtide high tide.........somehow fail to talk tidal power electricoty generating......whenevever...or when last any politican talk bout using reliable efficient tidal currents to generate electricity....??????...

Since we've made a decades long comittment to run LNG when are we going to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement? (as clearly we have no intention of getting off fossil fuels)

Another form of solar energy: get up early, do everything you need to do whilst there is still sunlights then go to bed at sunset.
