PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Guyana’s President, Dr. Irfaan Ali, will address the Trinidad and Tobago Energy Conference scheduled for January 23, the Energy Chamber of Trinidad and Tobago has announced.
“On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Energy Chamber, we welcome Dr. Ali to the conference, and we look forward to the discussion on the development of an integrated regional energy system,” the Chamber said.
It said that Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley, the Minister of Energy and Energy Related Industries Stuart Young, and Finance Minister Colm Imbert would also address the three-day event that will be held under the theme “Navigating a complex energy future.”
In a statement on its Facebook page, the Chamber said that “the ever-changing energy landscape continues to highlight complex relationships and the delicate balance throughout the energy value chain.
It said the last two years had challenged leaders in ways no one would have imagined, and while we look forward to some sense of short-term normalcy, we know that things may never be the same again.
“Continued pressure to decarbonize along with increasing demand for energy will continue to change the way upstream, and downstream commodities are delivered to market. Surging temperatures in North America and Europe, alongside geopolitical pressures, have also brought energy security back into the spotlight, even in developed countries. These changes can throw off long-term energy planning and alter how companies attract capital to execute projects. “
The Chamber said that during the three-day event, it “will bring these issues to the spotlight and chart a course as an industry to help companies from the upstream, downstream and energy services sector to navigate the complex energy future.”
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretary General, Dr. Carla Barnett, is also cared to address the event.
