Electricity Crisis Fallout: Bahamas Power and Light (BPL) and Bahamas Grid Company (BGC) held a joint press briefing urging New Providence residents to conserve power as outages continue, with BGC CEO Dareo McKenzie also telling people to “sit on the beach” to cut peak load; the message came as critics questioned the Davis administration’s handling of the grid and as BGC said it’s still short-staffed and working to complete the transfer of transmission and distribution assets from BPL. EV Charger Pushback: EV dealership owners Pia and John Farmer rejected BGC’s remarks that EV chargers and EV adoption are straining the grid, arguing the real problem is aging infrastructure and that home charger installation doesn’t require special permission. Grid Modernization Plan: BGC says it will simplify New Providence’s “complex” electricity network by replacing aging equipment and moving toward a more resilient model, while also seeking more line-work staff (target 160–180). Infrastructure Warning (Andros): The Ministry of Works condemned the Fresh Creek Bridge in Central Andros after a pier/pile cap shift, closing it to vehicles and moving toward a temporary ferry solution while a replacement is planned. Resort Control Dispute: Old Bahama Bay Resort and Marina’s ownership entity moved to reclaim control amid an escalating management fight, with reports of employees being barred from accessing the property. Energy Project Watch: ECOnnect Energy says it won a contract to deliver a floating LNG import terminal for a Shell joint venture, aiming to enable LNG imports to New Providence from late 2026. Sports & Culture: Bahamas Chess Federation named its teams for the 2026 Chess Olympiad; Team Bahamas finished fourth at the 2026 Caribbean Amateur Golf Championships; and the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism launched its 2nd annual Bonefishing Tournament Series.
