LOUD explosions rocked mainland Abaco on Friday night when a bush fire spread to the Bahamas Electricity Corporation’s Marsh Harbour power plant compound, setting alight drums filled with used oil and posing a threat to the islands’ power supply.
The BEC power plant blaze came on the same day that BEC announced it had officially taken over responsibility for the generation of electricity at the $70.8 million Wilson City power plant in Abaco from contractor MAN Diesel.
