URCA Audits BPL's Fuel Charges

URCA is launching a major audit of Bahamas Power and Light’s fuel charges—set for 2026—to ensure rates aren’t unfairly inflated and fuel is being bought efficiently. This comes after years of rate stability during the pandemic, with BPL now seeking to recover costs under new rules from the 2024 Electricity Act. The Minister of Energy can set rates until June 2027, but BPL must submit its tariff plan to URCA for review before then. URCA has already completed its tariff analysis and will soon release findings. Beyond electricity, URCA is also tackling internet reliability in the Family Islands and improving tech accessibility for people with disabilities.
