Stellar service @ BVIEC
Mr Abraham retired in December 2022, after almost 22 years at the helm of BVIEC.
It is believed Mr Abraham had started out at the BVI Electricity Corporation some 35 years ago and understudied the former General Manager Ronnie W. Skelton, who became a Minister of Government and a Deputy Chief Minister.
Abraham took the reign as GM in 2000 following the retirement of Mr Skelton some 22 years later.
During his tenure at BVIEC, Mr Abraham was praised for his quick and effective response after many hurricanes to restore power to residents. He was instrumental in the purchase of new engines for the Corporation that stabilised the electric grid in the Territory.
Mr Abraham was appointed in 2021 as the Chairman of the prestigious Caribbean Electric Utility Services Corporation (CARILEC) and is the first Virgin Islander to be so appointed.
