"*multiple Soldier Road feeders at the Blue Hills Power Station unexpectedly tripped offline. BPL attributed this fault to a gas circuit breaker malfunction tied to a phase-to-ground cable issue*"

For the un***enlightened*** public, exactly what does this mean? Is it common to have phase to ground cable issues? Did the circuit breaker "malfunction" or did it do what it was supposed to, i.e., "break" the circuit? Phase ground and breaker notwithstanding was this just excessive demand on the system?

Minister of finance of course. They could create a new ministry of illegal gaming

The abomination of desolations?? Is this it?

Oh Jesus

Get the small things right. Your systems simply arent stable. Every night there seems to mini outages. Two(?) months ago it culminated in a massive outage. I am lost as to why URCA hasnt demanded a public explanation for what is happening and not the useless We're "working on an issue, we'll let you know when its fixed". Are you unable to service the customers you have? Your support line is horrible. The "AI" cant decipher english language and frequently hangs up on you. You live support staff are passive aggressive.

Forget being Hercules. Just be a good serf.

Just like the fire brigade, the islands would benefit from a volunteer emergency response team, so that no matter where an incident occurs there is likely to be one or more persons with emergency response supplies trained to assist. Broken bones, blood loss, pain relief, resuscitation, But... if the hospital cant keep supplies in stock, could it work?

Wait to hear a ministry launch the new initiative they came up with.

Why? The answer is political. No politician questions the do nothing nonsense issued by any of the ministers who stand up to speak about the way forward. How many ministers of transport have now talked about how they're regulating the industry. Yet **every single day anybody with eyes can see jetskis and tourist boats scattered all over Montagu harbour where hundreds of Bahamians go to swim. It's an accident waiting to happen**. But someone in "politics" is allowing it to continue.

Pricing is a skill and a balancing act. Too often it appears that the only concern for the govt is how much money is to be made if they hikes taxes and fee-taxes 400% higher. Theres no balance in their act and they often enter the "*beyond the market can bear*" domain.

Where is the line between *not paying their fare share* and extortion? It's in the data. Unfortunately noone's given any.

Precisely!! And that pipeline going from Clifton to blue hills if I'm not mistaken. Which means lots of opportunity for a backhoe to have a mistake. FOCOLowned the gas station where the entire oil deposit drain into the ground in Abaco. An LNG fuel line won't be so forgiving of leaks. I hope FOCOL have the resources and equipment to tackle a large explosion. It's not about if it will happen. It's about demonstrating preparedness.

"*Recognising the importance of regulatory oversight,” the statement said, “the government has directed BPL to begin immediate engagement with the Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA)*"

This upside down. If they "*recognized the importance of oversight*" why did they give Bahamas grid/ island grid/under the table grid, the right to set any rate they like free of URCA "interference" for three years?
