Power Cuts Linked to Big Pond Substation Upgrade

New Providence is facing serious power cuts as crews upgrade a $130 million state-of-the-art substation in Big Pond — a necessary but disruptive step to boost long-term grid reliability. Construction delays and extreme heat mean some areas are running on just one power circuit instead of two, causing outages. The new substation, modeled after systems in Florida and Georgia, will act as a smarter traffic controller for electricity, helping direct power where it’s needed most. Energy Minister Jobeth Coleby-Davis admits inconveniences will continue for now, but stresses this temporary pain is paving the way for a much more dependable power future.
