Summary
Bahamians are reeling from weeks of power outages and skyrocketing electricity bills — but Energy Minister Jobeth Coleby-Davis is stepping in with a mix of apologies, practical tips, and big plans. She confirmed the Sunday blackout was rare, stressed that rates haven’t changed, and explained soaring bills are due to hotter summers driving up usage. To cope, she recommends blackout curtains, window shading, and keeping thermostats at 78 degrees. Ahead, a major energy overhaul is underway, including a new LNG plant set to break ground Monday — part of a $172MW system upgrade combining solar, batteries, and modern grids to deliver more reliable power across New Providence.
