ABACO, BAHAMAS — According to Bahamas Power and Light (BPL), all mainland Abaco communities except Eastern Shores have had power restored after being knocked offline in Hurricane Dorian in September 2019.
“As we have reported, power supply has been restored to all mainland communities with the exception of Eastern Shores, where work continues on the underground system,” BPL said in a statement.
“Our work now focuses on restoration in the cays and completion of the buildout of the reinforced transmission systems.
“Once customers have had an inspection from the Ministry of Works and that Inspection Certificate has been submitted to BPL, we can commence connecting those customers to the grid.
“We have recently energized the north end of Man-O-War Cay, and restored HV supplies to Anna’s Cay and Eagle Rock.”
The company noted, however, that work is still being conducted in some areas, including along Earnest Dean Highway; in Lubbers Quarters; in North Guana; and in Nick Miaoulis Subdivision, Turtle Rocks.
