In Coral Harbour, residents endured outages lasting as long as eight or nine hours a day from Tuesday through yesterday. Ms Marshall said residents should not have to organise their lives around whether BPL would keep the electricity on. BPL reported that electricity had been fully restored to the community by 2.17pm, but further outages were recorded elsewhere later in the day. In Opulent Drive, Carmichael West, residents also reported power cuts lasting about nine hours a day from Thursday. Her admission followed warnings from BPL officials that New Providence’s electricity system was approaching capacity, with circuits overloaded and transformers operating near their limits.
