belco has made its own bed, why are so many of its generators about to give up – that hasn’t just happened, that has happened over years and years and years – why didn’t belco do something earlier, where was its five, ten., 15 year plan to replace ageing equipment? why do they want us to rely on LNG – where are Belco’s forecasts about how much that would REALLY cost with all the necessary infrastructure changes? Don’t blame the RA for belco’s long-running failures. It’s enjoyed being a monopoly for way too long and at last is being challenged and it does not like it – well, tough! The sooner we get competition for electricity the better!

Makes sure they don’t raise the prices to pay for all these upgrades.

Another disaster from the RA. How long did they take to issue this? Belco were waiting nearly a year. I pity the new CEO of Belco, we will end up driving him away due to our incompetence.

And the kicker line in the report is…

“The analysis and discussion provided in this report relies on information provided by the Utility in the form of data and in discussions. The site tours allowed for visual inspections of a cursory nature, but were not sufficient to verify the information provided by the Utility.”

So, basically, BELCO wrote its own report, and it was signed off and paid for by the RA (the Bermudian people). Let the monopoly continue……!

BELCO addressed the issue with the aging plant several years ago and all you said was no….They submitted plans for a new plant and you said no… #FACT
