EDITORIAL - Incompetence with energy
Jul 30, 2013
KINGSTON, Jamaica - The Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) must quickly decide whether it is up to the job it is mandated to perform. If it is not, it must move over and let someone else get on with it. We especially refer to the agency's ability to determine Jamaica's future energy needs, the fuel mix that will meet those requirements at the cheapest cost, and to evaluate bids that will deliver power most economically. To be frank, this newspaper is not now sanguine of the OUR's capacity to deliver. Nor are we any more convinced that the Government is appropriately seized of the importance of the urgency with which the matter needs to be resolved.
