The Barbados Light and Power Company (BLPC) will be able to exclude information it deems confidential or unnecessary to determining if consumers should pay more for electricity, in its upcoming rate hearing before the Fair Trading Commission (FTC).That decision of the FTC, published on Friday, follows a confidentiality hearing involving the BL&P and its legal counsel and representatives from the Barbados Renewable Energy Association (BREA), the Energy Division and the Business Development Division of the Ministry of Energy held on June 29.The five-member Commission led by Deputy FTC Chairman Dr Donley Carrington and including Dr John Griffith, Ruan Martinez, Samuel Wallerson and Dr Simon Naitram, deemed that withholding the information would not disadvantage the public or the intervenors who have opposed the BLPC’s request for a rate increase.
