Minister for Grand Bahama Michael DarvilleMinister for Grand Bahama Michael Darville September 17 encouraged Emera, owner of the Grand Bahama Power Co (GBPC), to back the government’s plan to significantly reduce the cost of electricity on Grand Bahama.

Darville’s comments came as he participated in the official opening of Emera’s new $80-million 52 mega watts power plant on West Sunrise Highway.

He told the gathering that he is convinced that one of the hindrances to the expansion of the industrial sector and the attraction of potential investors to Grand Bahama is the high cost of electricity.

“But, I am also convinced that the use of alternative forms of energy will bring real change to the cost of electricity and open new doors for the industrial sector to grow, thus attracting many foreign and domestic investors to Grand Bahama in the areas of light manufacturing, pharmaceutical industry and food processing. This will create thousands of sustainable jobs for Grand Bahamians.”
