A seven-member team from Bahamas Power and Light (BPL) has embarked on a critical mission to Jamaica to aid in the restoration of electricity in communities ravaged by Hurricane Melissa. This initiative is part of the Caribbean Electric Utility Services Corporation’s (CARILEC) regional disaster response program, which mobilizes resources from member utilities to assist nations impacted by severe storms. The BPL delegation, comprising linemen, engineers, and technicians, will collaborate with the Jamaica Public Service Company to rebuild power lines and restore essential services in the hardest-hit areas. BPL Chief Operating Officer Anthony Christie emphasized the importance of regional solidarity during crises, stating, ‘We understand the challenges they face and are committed to supporting their recovery efforts.’ Assistant Engineer Kervin Jones, leading the team, expressed his pride in representing The Bahamas, while Foreman Paul Curry highlighted the significance of the mission despite the personal sacrifices involved. Lineman Dremeko Cooper, drawing from his previous experience in Dominica, acknowledged the challenges ahead but remained optimistic. The BPL team is expected to remain in Jamaica for several weeks, contributing to the broader regional recovery effort coordinated by CARILEC.
