Starting Monday, residents can skip their monthly visit to the BVI Electricity Corporation – and the wait in line – when paying their electricity bill, announced BVIEC General Manager Leroy Abraham.
Customers can now create an account on www.bvielectricity.com and pay their bill online, Mr. Abraham said at a press conference at the BVIEC’s Long Bush office Monday morning. They can also view their bill, scheduled outages and the service shut-off schedule.
Mr. Abraham said the programme probably should have been started years ago, especially given the growth in the number of customers. The BVIEC has collected $6,000 in customer bills since site testing began, he added.
BVIEC has scheduled three sessions to assist customers using the new site, from 5-6 p.m. on Oct. 12, 20 and 27 at the Long Bush office.
