3.2.1 Energy Sector Outlook 3.2.1.1 Electricity Market 3.2.1.1.1 Utilities The Bahamas Electricity Company (BEC) is a government-owned electric utility covering New Providence and the Family Islands, which provides 80% of generation across the Bahamas. The BEC was established by Act in 1959, and generally sets its own tariffs (Wilson 2009, pp. 28, 32). The Grand Bahama Power is majority owned (55%) by Marubeni-TAQA, a joint venture of parties in Japan and Dubai. Canadian utility Emera also is a shareholder through the publicly traded ICD Utilities Limited of the Bahamas (Emera 2008). The utility license for Grand Bahama Power (GBP) expires in 2054, along with the regulatory agreement for the Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA) (Wilson 2009, p. 34). 3.2.1.1.2 Supply The Bahamas is unique in that its electricity system is distributed among some 16 isolated island grids. Thus, expansion is incremental and generation capacity primarily is small diesel plants with a capacity of 20 MW and less (Wilson 2009, p. 31). The Bahamas Electricity Corporation (BEC) website features a map of plants on each island (BEC 2012). Despite the distributed layout of the system, the BEC charges a single rate structure for its customers (BEC 2010). Table 4.
