Workers union pres: BPL not always at fault for outages
NASSAU, BAHAMAS Thousands of residents on New Providence were plunged into darkness overnight on Friday after an “operational glitch” at the Clifton Pier Power Plant resulted in an island-wide outage.
Power was restored to the first group of customers at 3.15am and by 6.30am power was restored to approximately 95 percent of the customer base in the capital.
The latest blackout came amidst a series of power outages over the past week as Bahamas Power and Light (BPL) gears up to meet peak summer demand.
Finnish technology group Wärtsilä, operators of the power plant at Station A at the Clifton facility, advised in a statement that around 2.30am on May 20, an operational glitch at the station resulted in generating units going offline.
