BELCO Testing Causes Temporary Load Shed
The Bermuda Electric Light Company Ltd. [BELCO] confirmed that a load shed has occurred today [April 2] during the testing and commissioning processes related to the Battery Energy Storage System [BESS].
A spokesperson said, “The system, built as part of the Company’s capital plan, caused a load shed that interrupted power supply to a number of customers during testing and commissioning of the system.”
BELCO President, Dennis Pimentel explained: “While every precaution was taken to ensure testing of the BESS did not impact on plant operations, unfortunately a load shed was experienced when the system was being integrated with the grid.
“Testing of the BESS will continue during the next few days and there is a possibility of further load shed events. Every effort is being made to minimise the impact on our customers and an update will be provided as soon as testing is complete.”
Now imagine if all these renewable “experts” tried to connect their systems to the grid lol. What a headache that would be
Belco shareholder?
No headache at all seeing as its been done with no issues by actual “experts”.
How’d that work out for Jamaica lol
What the new battery backup joke system couldn’t help?
HAHAHAHA. bush
Way to reassure potential buyers the capital plan hype was prudent. Sure our effective RA will seek compensation for affected customers
