We have multiple unfinished projects in the Exumas some of them started more than 20 years ago. Something needs to be done about those before another new project starts and fails.
No point in complaining about BPL. For the price of a diesel generator you can install solar and batteries and run your house or business with no need for BPL. I did it in Exuma and even on rainy and cloudy days I use no BPL power. You will also be reducing the load on BPL and helping them.
Moorings should be locally owned and operated. If you are not a resident on an island you should not be given permission to install moorings near that island.
They need to increase the rates for high consumption. Like people who have pools. Poor people should not be subsidizing rich people to fill up their pools. The government should be thanking people who have a well or RO system or a rain water tank. Maybe even encourage people to install rainwater tanks.
Just think every dollar in foreign currency we don’t spend on oil is a dollar we can use for something else. Almost like free money, which is something every Bahamian wants
Invested in government buildings is a joke. NIB owns the Exuma mini hospital and that will never ever generate $1.00 of income for NIB. NIB probably has to pay their BPL bill.

Borrow money from the bank, install solar, pay bank $500.00 per month instead of GBPC. I did it so don’t say it can’t be done.
