Episode Details

The Supreme Court’s doors were forced shut yesterday after a power outage—triggered by a failing backup generator that overheated and broke down after running nonstop since Friday. With critical court functions halted and justice delayed, the Bahamas Bar Association is sounding the alarm, calling it a serious threat to public rights and condemning the lack of communication from utility providers. The generator wasn’t designed for continuous use, forcing costly emergency repairs and derailing months of scheduled proceedings. Meanwhile, the Industrial Tribunal and downtown businesses are also suffering, with some scrambling to run their own generators—draining budgets and straining an already overburdened grid. This latest outage follows a major island-wide blackout just two weeks ago, as BPL admits its aging infrastructure is under extreme strain from overloaded equipment and soaring demand.
