BL&P rate hearing to resume
Round two of the Barbados Light & Power Company Limited’s (BL&P) quest for a permanent electricity rate hike will take place next week.
The Fair Trading Commission (FTC) has announced that its hearing of BL&P’s motion to review the February 15 decision on the tariff increase application will be held from August 28 to 30 at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre.
This will see BL&P representatives facing off once more against intervenors opposed to its rate increase application.
FTC general legal counsel and Commission Secretary Kevin K. D. Webster said in a brief notice: “The Motion for review and variation filed by the Barbados Light and Power Company Limited on March 7th. . . will be heard in person by way of an oral hearing during a continuous period of three business days, which will commence on Monday, August 28, 2023, and conclude on Wednesday, August 30, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre.
