Cat Island Festival Darkened by Outage

Cat Island’s Labour Day weekend was turned upside down when a major power outage — caused by a fire at a BPL generation unit — plunged the entire island into darkness, crashing the highly anticipated Rake & Scrape Festival. Vendors, musicians, and locals faced a sudden halt to festivities, hitting the island’s economy and culture hard. BPL issued a heartfelt apology, acknowledging the blow to community spirit and promising to restore power and prevent future blackouts. This outage is a stark reminder of how vital reliable electricity is — especially for preserving traditions that bring islands to life.
