The Bahamas Electricity Corporation (BEC) is a government corporation that provides electricity to all of the Bahama Islands except for Grand Bahama. The corporation operates power plants at 25 locations throughout the islands, with 95,000 customers and a peak capacity of 438 MW. Most of the stations use diesel engines; a large gas-turbine plant is installed at the Blue Hills Power Station.[1]

History

BEC was founded in 1956 by the passing of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas Electricity Act to provide water for all homes on the western coast of the island.
