Five workers from Barbados arrived on Saturday, seven more flew in from Jamaica on Sunday, but it could still be another two weeks before power is fully restored to Cat Island and Eleuthera, according to the Bahamas Electricity Corporation (BEC).
The announcement comes two weeks after Hurricane Irene plowed through The Bahamas.
When it's all said and done, residents and business in these areas will have been in the dark for a month.
"We really have basically two islands left that need attention - Cat Island and Eleuthera," Michael Moss said, the Chairman of BEC.  "While people continue to talk about the havoc on Cat Island, based on our records, there were even more poles down on Eleuthera.  Teams have come in to assist our people with the restoration."
On Eleuthera, Moss explained the main HV line between Rock Sound and Governor's Harbour is 65 percent complete, while repairs to the overhead line from Hatchet Bay to Three Island Dock are 30 percent done.
Palmetto Point is 69 percent complete, Windermere Island is at 70 percent and Savannah Sound is 90 percent.
"We did have a team come in from Barbados to assist us with the Eleuthera restoration," he added.
On Cat Island, with the assistance of a team from Jamaica, approximately 20 poles have been charged North of the power station, restoring power to about 500 customers.  Power has also been brought back from North of the Cove to Orange Creek.
Twenty-eight poles are operational South of the station, where crews continue to work.
"Today they are between The Cove and T Bay," Moss added.  "Total restoration to date [on Cat Island] is about 35 percent."
