Not that URCA is an any more competent regulator than the Port Authority, but being that G.B. power sends supply outside of the jurisdiction of the H.C.A, and the Port Authority namely to east and western G.B,
it would appear that URCA does in fact have jurisdiction over at least a part or parts thereof supplied by GBPC. But how does one have jurisdiction of a "part of" a company?
Of course the East is currently supplied by no one, courtesy of Dorian.
If in fact the Port Authority would exert Authority over Power supply to the eastern end of the island, beyond the "port Area" should they not have done so by instructing GBPC to restore power there?
As it seems they have not, then indeed they are as a pathetic regulator as URCA.

Solomons grand Bahama lost one store, but the other has really let the community down.
Common items never seen again, seems obvious ordered quantities have been reduced.
I prior Hurricanes they were fully stocked within a day of the storm, with a manager explaining
they put in an "emergency order' prior to the storm. I told him then keep doing it, they'd never looked better.
Seems that procedure was forgotten.
pick it up Mr. Watchorn, you've had more than enough time to learn retail.
Click to Clear is not to be blamed either, as it has not been implemented in G.B.
No English sausages,
No Brie,
No Queso Cheese, in fact few nice cheeses at all
no Coconut Palm sugar
The "went away" list is endless.

BS Answer.

legalized extortion.
Unfortunately we don't have the civil society to fight it.
Thus, as in all else, we pay for our laziness, and timidity,
With our ignorance being traded upon daily by those who would rule, and their minions.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Read that act again,
While the initial "intent was to allow depletion of existing stocks of non bio/non compost bags until June 30, the act does not reflect that.
Another poorly written/poorly worded piece of legislation.

No load shedding but no promises of reduced outages.
If this new generator can provide more power the problems will just shift to the next weak link in the supply chain.

Bag for certain purposes are banned, not all.
Same with Styrofoam,
Insofar as "bans" go it is a bit pathetic.
It also provides for certain bags to be used solely for specific purposes,
so we'll be needing the "usage" police.
Single use plastic water bottles are not banned. A good thing considering the need for drinking water post hurricane.
I think baggies for crack are ok once they're over 3 mil thick.

The unfortunate thing about the Bahamas, is that rather than rely on the rule of law pursuant to pursuing fraud where it can be investigated and proven, and then prosecuted, They would rather rule by fiat.
Look it up.
This inevitably leads to more rules to overcome failure. But more power does not equal success, or even ensure success. It results in more failure coupled with abuse of power.
Rule by fiat works for preschoolers in a school yard. It is designed to control, not enable.

These look like toys, experimental at best.
Besides, for a county with 80% vs. land mass, I hope they're waterproof.
Let us stay on top of the drone survival rate and the repairs and renewals cost until they're all
done in permanently.
Asinine.
Shingles is a joke: we talking slab to belt course, shingles are icing in that cake.

Government should proceed with haste WHILE opening the potential for the private sector to
dig in. Government trying to corner and sequester Solar to BEC BPL alone is the height of insanity. Canadian electrical code provides for safe installation and grid tie in.
Any and all objections are purely political and BEC/BPL self preserving.
