AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Energy & Utilities: Bahamas Power and Light’s summer outages keep sparking heat in Parliament and the streets, with FNM’s Andre Rollins accusing Bahamas Grid Company of lacking the expertise to fix recurring grid faults, while BPL and BGC push conservation and argue the grid is being modernized. Aviation & Fees: The Bahamas Air Navigation Services Authority has started retroactively charging aircraft operators for flights since May 1, 2021, with fees rising 300%–700% based on maximum takeoff weight and potential detention for unpaid balances. Digital Cooperation: The Bahamas and Estonia signed a digital transformation MOU covering digital government, interoperability, digital identity, AI, cybersecurity, and citizen-centred services. Water & Infrastructure: Consolidated Water reported Q2 2026 results, with revenue down 2% to $32.9m but Bahamas energy-related bulk revenue up 20% tied to new desalination plants. Marine Conservation: The Bahamas Project for Marine Conservation advanced its METT assessments across 70 MPAs, funded through a debt-conversion model. Tourism & Development: A $200m–$250m boutique hotel and residential plan at the former Club Med site in Eleuthera targets mid-2027 construction and partial openings by 2029. Cruise Industry: Norwegian Cruise Line unveiled first images of its Great Tides Waterpark at Great Stirrup Cay ahead of a Sept. 4 opening. Trade & Costs: U.S. Section 301 tariffs on salmon and shrimp are expected to raise costs for seafood importers, with little relief available. Health & Aid: The Bahamas donated $500,000 in chemotherapy medication to Cuba for children’s cancer care. Food & Retail: Korean fried chicken brand BBQ opened its first Mexico City outlet, expanding a regional footprint that already includes the Bahamas. Business & Jobs: Government says it will review labour certificate applications and employment data to improve transparency and access for Bahamians. Aviation Safety Watch: Scrutiny continues after a fatal North Andros crash, with reporting highlighting the age profile of Bahamian-registered aircraft.
