FAIR TRADING COMMISSION
PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON THE
PROPOSED BL&P PILOT PROGRAMME
The Fair Trading Commission “Commission”, is seeking public input into the Pilot Programmes as proposed by the Barbados Light and Power Company Limited (BL&P).
These are:
- Time-of-Use (TOU) tariff – The TOU is designed to allow customers to benefit from lower rates by adjusting their usage to off-peak periods.
- Renewable Energy Rider (RER) –The RER provides the opportunity for customers who produce renewable energy for their own use to sell excess to the grid.
- Interruptible Service Rider (ISR) – The ISR will be a credit paid to the contracted customer to voluntarily reduce their demand on request from the BL&P.
The BL&P has proposed that these programmes should be implemented on a pilot basis for a period of three years. The Commission has issued a consultation paper on these pilot programmes.
The Commission invites the public to review the consultation paper and submit written responses. The public is also invited to participate in an oral session to discuss the pilot programmes.
Consultation Timetable
