Nv Gebe Pauses Disconnection of Non-Paying Consumers

NV GEBE, the utility company in Sint Maarten, announced on Friday, June 26, 2026, a temporary pause on the disconnection of non-paying consumers. This decision followed a meeting with representatives from ACP-SXM; disconnections were originally set to resume Monday, June 29, 2026. NV GEBE acknowledged that its collection procedures may not be widely known and intends to enhance communication. The company plans to draft a new policy specifically addressing invoices unrelated to a period when NV GEBE experienced computer issues due to a hack. This temporary policy will be formally announced in writing, and collection and disconnection procedures will strictly adhere to its guidelines upon implementation.
