And while that is the forecast - San Pedro residents are still trying to get over what the endured yesterday: a punishing 14 and a half hour blackout - from mid morning to after midnight.

The CEO revised what triggered the outage - and what's been done to fix it:

This sound. The steady hum of a generator could be heard across San Pedro yesterday. For businesses fortunate enough to have one. Those who didn't have had to close down and take a loss for the day. That marathon 14 hour blackout started in the morning at 10:20. And power wasn't restored until after midnight. As San Pedranos labored through a dark and humid night by candlelight and sea breeze.

Back on the main land near Maskall, BEL crews were toiling to replace a failing transformer.

John Mencias, CEO - BEL
"And we moved quickly to deploy a mobile transformer that we have in place to the Maskall substation. We started to move right away. It took us about two and a half to 3 hours to dismantle that mobile substation. I say transformer but it's actually a full substation. It was by mile 8 on the George Price Highway. it took us another 5 hours to transport that because it is huge and wide."

"It could not go through the normal route to Maskall. It had to go all the way up to Carmelita and then down along the old Northern Highway. And even so two of the bushings on that mobile substation broke. Had it not been for that, we would have been able to get back San Pedro on line by about 9:30 last night."

"So remember, from 10:20 in the morning, way up to then we actually got San Pedro back on line until 48 minutes after midnight, which is this morning. So they were out of power for about 13, 13 hours. Again, we apologize to all our customers in San Pedro. What we are doing now, we have brought in some help from our contractor based in Guatemala who specializes in fixing those components."

"I think he should be here today or one of their representatives is here today and we hope to get the transformer back in service within the next 3 to 4 weeks. But in the meantime, the mobile substation is capable of supplying the capacity out there. I will say, though, sorry the demand of there I will say, though, that that mobile substation is at its capacity limit, too."

"So we will have to continue to manage demand in San Pedro."

And so San Pedro remains in a precarious power situation. Mencias apologizes on behalf of the company today.

John Mencias, CEO - BEL
"Please understand that we are very focused on our mission, and no BEL employee is happy with the situation that we are facing. Our customers are our customers. And that is why I made the point to you. There will be no blaming of any other parties because at the end of the day, the contractual arrangements between us and our customers, they depend on us."

"As one customer told me, when the bill comes, it comes from BEL, Right? So we look to you to provide the solution. So, yes, we are very cognizant of the impacts this has had, and that is why we moved the way we did. Let me see if, for example, to the gas turbine that we are deploying in San Pedro, the total cost of that is $44 million."

"Right? The upgrade to the gas turbine in at Westlake is another $34 million. That's already $70 million that we have had to find."

"Many island businesses racked up losses yesterday and hotels fear tourist cancellations. BEL says they have recognized how much of an impact this has had on businesses and remote workers."

"So we have been bearing these costs to make sure that we are able to provide electricity to our customers. But again, the solution immediately is to put the capacity in place and to make sure that we can provide the reliable electricity that our customers need include, especially including those who work from home very much. There are many employees who also work not only from home, we work from where we are most effective."

"So yes, we understand that and that is why we have apologized and sincerely so for the impacts of of these outages on customers and also businesses, obviously, many of whom have been helping us during this time."
