Bahamas Power and Light Company Ltd. (BPL) reported the first customers have already been restored following an island-wide outage that occurred at 1:16PM. At that time, we experienced a problem that caused the six engines online at Station A to come offline all at once.

The mitigation systems were unable to deal with the sudden, unexpected loss of half the generation on the grid, which led to an islandwide outage.

Our team went to work immediately to correct the issues and within an hour, by 2:06PM, had restored power to the first set of customers. That’s Harold Road, Yellow Elder, Millenium Gardens, Stapledon, Blue Hill Estates.
