AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoEnergy Infrastructure Deal: ECOnnect Energy (Norway) has won a contract to supply a floating LNG import terminal for New Providence Gas (NPG), a Shell Bahamas Power and Sun Oil/Focol joint venture—using its IQuay C-Class FLNG platform to move LNG from carriers to onshore storage with less coastal construction, aiming to support a shift from diesel and fuel oil to LNG and help stabilize power costs. Power Crisis Fallout: Bahamas Power and Light (BPL) and Bahamas Grid Company (BGC) are facing mounting public anger over outages and load-shedding, with officials urging conservation as August demand rises; BGC says the grid is still short-staffed and is working to simplify New Providence’s aging, multi-voltage network, while EV dealers and drivers push back on claims that EV chargers are to blame. Aviation Fees Hit Operators: BANSA has started collecting retroactive navigation fees from private and commercial aircraft operators dating back to May 1, 2021, with increases reported from nearly 300% to almost 700% depending on aircraft weight. Local Transport Disruption: The Fresh Creek Bridge in Central Andros has been condemned after structural failure, cutting the main transport link and complicating electricity restoration and access to the airport. Maritime Trade Pressure: Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb fell sharply after Houthi claims of missile attacks on Saudi tankers, raising fresh concerns for regional energy supply routes.
