Operator error on the part of Bahamas Power and Light (BPL) led to the September 2018 fire at the Clifton Pier Power Station that sidelined its two largest generators, an investigation into the incident concluded.

The manufacturer of the generators said the proper procedure to troubleshoot the engine would have taken BPL no more than 30 minutes to complete.
