AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Power Crisis Fallout: Former BPL CEO Whitney Heastie and ex-Public Works Minister Desmond Bannister dispute BPL/BGC explanations for New Providence outages, saying maintenance issues are likely behind the failures. Business Response: The Bahamas Chamber of Commerce and Employers’ Confederation is urging direct talks with government, BPL and BGC, warning firms can’t be asked to cut consumption while they lack a clear, reliable power restoration roadmap. Energy Transition Push: New Providence Gas’ LNG project at Clifton Pier is moving ahead with a Norway-based “jettyless” LNG transfer system from ECOnnect Energy, aimed at speeding delivery and supporting the shift from oil to LNG. Health System Upgrade: The Ministry of Health and Wellness signed an MOU with PAHO to join the Alliance for Primary Health Care in the Americas, positioning the Bahamas to focus next on catastrophic care. Medical Cannabis Roadmap: Minister Michael Darville says the government is advancing medical marijuana implementation after signing with Metrc for the digital seed-to-sale and licensing platform. Foreign Affairs/Work Permits: Fred Mitchell says Grand Bahama employment and hiring practices are under review to improve transparency and protect Bahamians while maintaining investor confidence. Crime/Justice: Jonathan “Player” Gardiner faces fresh US cocaine charges after a Georgia indictment unsealed this week. Tourism & Travel: MSC Cruises is rolling out year-round Southern Caribbean sailings from La Romana and unveiling Catalina Sugar Beach in the Dominican Republic. Maritime Risk Watch: Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb fell sharply amid renewed security concerns in the Gulf and Red Sea.
