AMID consumer complaints of rocketing Bahamas Power and Light bills in the aftermath of load shedding and an island wide outage, BPL Chairman Donovan Moxey is urging consumers to look at subtle changes in their behaviour while at home.

“We don’t magically kick up the cost in the summer,” Mr Moxey told The Tribune yesterday. “We are not allowed to. It’s against the law. The problem is no one takes the time to understand the subtleties about how their life changes in the summer.”

This was his response yesterday when told of consumers’ displeasure over increases in billing, while factoring in power cuts since June, coupled with an island wide black out this week.

“I haven’t done anything differently from all my bills and I am comparing them. My bills are usually between $130 and $150; my bill came out for the end of this month and it’s $230 and there was nothing different,” New Providence resident Claude St Claver told The Tribune yesterday.
