New Providence Power Crisis Deepens

New Providence plunged into darkness Tuesday night as BPL blamed overloaded circuits for widespread blackouts hitting neighborhoods like Bamboo Boulevard, Pinewood, and Goldwynn Condos—lasting from 9 PM into the early morning. While power’s back on, BPL urges residents to conserve energy during peak hours to stabilize the grid. Some, like a Pinewood resident, are now eyeing generators as a necessity. Meanwhile, parts of western New Providence face rotating outages as crews tackle a cable issue—just weeks after officials claimed the system could handle summer demand. Politicians are linking the outages to the broader cost-of-living crisis, demanding government action to ease the burden on everyday families.
