Mr. Editor

The Grand Bahama Power Company seems to now be in the business of frustrating the home owners and now their newest subject the business owners.

The frustration being experienced by (FGC) Fenestration Glass Company, only shows how at the end of the day the only persons who should benefit is the Grand Bahama Power Company.

I am also an aggrieved customer who has been assessed with fluctuated billings going back to April of 2009, to the present. My home was vacant during a four month period in 2009, from April to the end of July. All electricity valves turned off, other than what was necessary at the time to preserve my perishables, yet my billing for the period for each month exceeded $500.00.

After speaking with a representative, and producing proof of my being off Island, some adjustments were made.

I felt a bit relieved and thought for a moment that the Company seemed to care. From the month of November to the present month my billings were fluctuating, only to hit the ceiling for February with a bill for $506.00; again I was not on the Island during a two (2) week period of January and my residence was once again abandoned.

It saddens me to see that the Grand Bahama Power Company could care less about the number of families that are now without a provider due to their escalating charges they apply to business who are trying their best to stay afloat in this ailing economy.

FGC, I can very well empathize with your aggravation, after experiencing similar treatment and no recourse!

A word of advice, be prepared for a long battle where your Company will not be the victor.
