In a press release today, August 19, 2024, the electricity company said they have partnered with third parties including subject experts and law enforcement in both the Virgin Islands and the United Kingdom all in “a focused effort to return to normal operations as soon as possible.
BVIEC also asked public members to be patient as best efforts are made to return to normalcy.
Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) has tried reaching out to BVIEC to find out what effects this cyber-attack will have on its customers and the public; however, it was unable to make contact with General Manager Dr Neil M. Smith.
Electricity service was also affected by the passage of Tropical Storm Ernesto nearly a week ago.
BVIEC has been working to restore electricity to areas still without power following the storm’s passage.
