The Barbados Light & Power Company (BL&P) Ltd. is in possession of more than 100 claims made following the passage of Hurricane Elsa on July 2.Following the category one hurricane, which caused widespread power outages, several BL&P customers reported damage to property from fallen poles and power lines, while others complained of having to dump several items from their refrigerators or freezers due to the delay in the restoration of power.During the final post-Elsa restoration update, BL&P’s Director of Operations and head of the hurricane team Johann Greaves said the company was in the process of reviewing the claims received so far.“We have claims that are still coming in from customers at this point,” reported Greaves.“There were some claims that came in related specifically to poles that had fallen and caused damage to persons’ property or vehicles. So that is one category of claims that we have received and they are in the process of being processed at this time.
