NEW Providence residents and businesses got a temporary reprieve from power woes Tuesday as Bahamas Power & Light avoided load shedding throughout the day.

BPL’s aging equipment held up to meet the day’s peak demand, a company spokesperson said.

However, BPL released a statement at 9.30pm Tuesday night saying that, after a day of no load shedding, the company was forced to load shed in the evening and that customers in the following areas would experience load shedding in a three-hour rotation:

Neighbourhoods in the vicinity of West Bay Street from Blake Road to Old Fort Bay (Love Beach, Yuma Estates, Bahama West, Gambier, etc) off until 11.45pm, followed by neighbourhoods off JFK in the vicinity of LPIA including Tropical Gardens, Charlottesville, Old Fort Bay, Venetian West and surrounding areas.
