Minister Demands Answers on Power Outages | Bahamas News
Description
Bahamas Power and Light is under fire from Public Services Minister Pia Glover-Rolle after her constituents endure relentless power outages—sometimes multiple times daily—disrupting sleep, livelihoods, and refrigerated goods. The minister demands accountability from BPL, pressing for explanations on root causes, repair timelines, and systemic fixes, while political rivals hint her public stance may reflect internal Cabinet tensions over the energy crisis. BPL blames a major Blue Hills Power Station fault and soaring summer demand, noting they’ve worked two days to restore underground cables and rotate power. Yet, skepticism lingers as critics question the government’s preparedness and transparency, especially after assurances that infrastructure upgrades were sufficient to handle peak demand.
