    Its the least they could do.

  2. $200.000.00 is the least they can do, what are others doing , nothing near what belco do for the youngsters of this country…

  3. Think About It says:

    Yes….All made possible by the exorbitant electricity rates levied on the public. Hopefully, those studying Environmental Engineering will come back here with the knowledge and drive to compel Belco to get their house in order.

    • many co’s in Bermuda are charging as you say exorbitant rates and fees, but they dont put this kind of money back into the educating of our young people, and I can assure you that the engineers do come back here with a new outlook and vision for Belco and Bermuda..and my daughter who won a Belco scholarship 10 yrs ago is one of those new Engineers.

      Here’s another thought for you, your Belco bill is one of the only bills YOU have control over, unlike Insurance, banking, lawyers etc.
