BEL pulled out all the stops this morning for the Inauguration of its New San Pedro Branch Office. Now, it's just a building - but the company hopes to use it as an illustration of its commitment to this fast growing community with a prolific appetite for power consumption.
And this morning's official ceremony focused on BEL's larger, new strategic direction intended to expand its offerings to customers.
BEL General Manager Sean Fuller told the Media told us more.
Sean Fuller, General Manager, Commercial & Retail Services
"This New office, we're very excited about this new office, it really symbolizes our commitment to expand our services and improve our services to our customers. This office cost approximately about seven hundred thousand dollars to be constructed and it was done in almost record time and, we're happy to say that this is the first of many changes to our infrastructure to be able to save our customers more efficiently throughout the entire country."
"San Pedro has been one of the fastest growing communities in the country over the last few years. The continued growth exceeds most other municipalities and we find that customers in San Pedro like any other tourist destinations are looking for more green energy solutions. So , these customers in San Pedro and other tourist destinations are looking for solar solutions to make their businesses more green. We all understand that the tourism market is very very popular for green energy hotels and destinations so one of the primary needs that they have is to convert their energy to green energy solutions. Another area that we find that residents of San Pedro is really really interested in is the conversion of these golf carts that you see traversing the island, these fossil fuel golf carts to be converted back to electricity golf carts. As you know the issues back in the past was that golf carts had limited ranges 20, 30 miles or maybe even less so whenever the new bridge was open customers pretty much felt that they didn't quite trust getting in their golf cart to jump the bridge and running out of power but the new technology in battery technology, Lithium Iron battery technology allows us to reintroduce electric transportation on the Island and we're very excited with the pilot project that we're embarking on to ensure that we convince customers and businesses to convert these fossil fuel vehicles into electric vehicles."
BEL has over 3,400 customers on the island.
