nhartnell@tribunemedia.net Energy regulators have renewed their pledge to ensure Bahamas Power & Light (BPL) does not make consumers pay for its "failures" through an opaque, inflated fuel charge on their bills. The Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA), in its just-released 2021 draft annual plan, nevertheless praised the state-owned utility for introducing a fuel hedging initiative to stabilise the fuel charge and give businesses and households certainty over this component of their bills. Suggesting that BPL had "substantially adopted" the recommendations it provided over its fuel hedging plans, URCA added that the advice it also provided over the upcoming $535m Rate Reduction Bond (RRB) placement should be "revisited" given that much has changed since the issue was first proposed due to COVID-19.
