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.

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.
