BVIEC expects 100% power restoration by week’s end- Dr. Smith
The passage of Tropical Storm Ernesto in the VI on August 13, 2024, caused damage in the territory including downed power lines.
The electricity company has been working to restore power while battling a recent cyber-attack that has forced all systems to be shut down.
According to the General Manager of BVIEC, Dr. Neil M. Smith, linesmen who were sent to assist BVIEC’s sister company in St. Vincent and the Grenadines following the passage of Hurricane Beryl there have now returned home.
“They came and they went to work immediately… I think some of them went home after 12 that night,” Dr. Smith said describing the company’s linesmen as some of the most skilled and dedicated in the region.
He assured BVIEC customers that they should expect full restoration of their electricity service by the end of the week.
Dr. Smith also said external assistance is not needed at this time adding, “We’re actually thinking of going out again to help other people”.

Who ever you are I am letting myself down to dignify you with an answer, but I will. I paid for that pole and the transformer as I was the first person to take up residence in that area. I was told that as the area became populated I will be reimbursed some of the money I paid for the transformer. I have been living there for 25 years, the area is fully populated and I have not seen a penny. I am not one of the many parasites who rely on government, maybe you are. I have a gardener that cut my grass and the bush on my property. I don't seek government assistance for my maintenance or up keep. I can well afford to take care of myself and what concerns me. I hope that you fully understand my narrative, that I don't depend on government for a damn thing. I can hold my own. Thank you.
