“They’re going to get there,” Mr Maynard said of BPL and Bahamas Grid Company, the entity that has taken over ownership and management of New Providence’s energy grid for at least 25 years. The former union president suggested that New Providence’s energy grid has received insufficient attention when compared to BPL’s generation capacity. Feeding into this, and compounding the challenges, are two unresolved problems related to the grid’s transition from BPL’s to Bahamas Grid Company’s control. As a result, it is unclear whether BPL or Bahamas Grid Company has responsibility for these assets, the maintenance and repair, and which set of workers can handle them. The transmission and distribution grid has been ignored for 16 years.
