The island’s monopoly power supplier and intervenors objecting to its request for a basic tariff increase have agreed on the proposed issues they want to focus on at the pending rate hearing. But the Fair Trading Commission (FTC) which conducted a near three-hour Procedural and Issues Conference on Monday announced that the commission will now deliberate to determine a final single list that would reflect the submissions of the Barbados Light & Power Company (BL&P), the intervenors and the FTC.“The commission will now go away and consider the proposed list of issues that were arrived at during the conference and issue a Procedural Order which will set out the list of issues that the commission has determined it will deal with during the substantive hearing of the application,” acting Commission Chairman Dr Donley Carrington announced. “The Procedural Order will also contain the agreements reached by the parties in relation to procedure, timeline, deadline, [and] the just and expeditious disposal of the application,” Dr Carrington declared.
