The Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) has complained that frequent outages and poor power quality have increased its costs and led to the rapid failure of critical equipment.
The communications provider, which is 49 percent owned by the Government, took a swipe at its fellow state-owned utility in demanding that the Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA) impose key performance indicators (KPIs) on Bahamas Power & Light (BPL) in similar fashion to what other Caribbean nations have done.
Participating in URCA s consultation on consumer protection regulations for the energy sector, the regulator said of BTC s response: BTC thought it to be an opportune time for URCA to take steps towards improving the service levels as it relates to power reliability and power quality provided by the service provider to customers..
