Finance : Barbados suffers second day of major power outages

Barbados was hit by serious power outages for a second day on Tuesday, forcing schools and some businesses to close and hitting water supplies on the island. The Barbados Light & Power Company (BL&P), a subsidiary of Canada's Emera Inc., suffered an engine failure early on Monday that knocked out power to much of the island. Prime Minister Mia Mottley called the outage "unacceptable and embarrassing" and expressed dismay at how the country could have lost "all of its generating capacity" at once.
