I am glad to see the government moving forward in this initiative. What is amazing is we don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Look at what is going on in Europe right now. There are the answers to all our problems over there.

One of them is offshore wind and I HOPE that this company, Castalia, has the sense to contact The Crown Estate who will be more than helpful in assisting Bermuda in setting up legislation and regulations to allow new forms of energy in Bermuda.

It is being done all over the world and there is no reason it can’t be done in Bermuda. The Government legislation needs to pave the way!

Bel o refuses to evolve snd eill soon be msde redundant for this same refusal…they ectually are immersed in water and the eater is rising…it is sink or swim and they refuse to tread water….the reason is the shareholders only want the present income….must not disturb this percentage.Mean while an offensive is being mounted and a monopoly out dated and its’ need diminished to nil.

BELCO can no longer just brush us aside and say “electricity in Bermuda is expensive, so just get used to it and go away”. Bottom line is that BELCO is bloated with fat and inefficiencies costing us PLENTY. They are that way as a classic response to being a monopoly where “the good times will NEVER end”. That needs to change. The SUMMER OF LOVE IS OVER BELCO. And in closing may I remind everyone that the lifeblood of progress and accountability is COMPETITION.

No offence, but the reality of the situation is that electrical generation is extremely expensive. Building and maintaining a transmission and distribution system is extremely expensive. BELCO actually has a very small profit margin, especially compared to business’s like insurance and re-insurance with very little overhead. If government would ease the 60% tax on fuel, that savings could be translated to their customers.
I’m sure BELCO and government are looking at all alternatives to the present, as we can all agree the current situation is unsustainable. If you have a better way to provide a reliable energy source to the masses, please speak up, the whole world is looking for that answer.

We are all thinking the same thing. Will Belco continue to charge absurd prices?
