Bad weather now blamed for blackouts

BAD weather conditions caused technical difficulties that took power out in several communities yesterday.

The areas included Gamble Heights, Nassau Village, the Grove, South Beach Estates, Carmichael West, Ferguson Estates and Collins Avenue, according to Bahamas Power and Light.

Lines were also knocked down in Pinewood Gardens and Kemp Road while a pole was down in Adelaide.

BPL recently brought online its seven, 132 megawatt, $95 million Wartsila 50DF tri-fuel engines.

It came after the power company faced one of its most brutal summers in memory, with its load-shedding programme frequently knocking out customers’ power for hours at a time.
