New options to deal with blackout
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – The Trinidad and Tobago is to consider establishing another option to provide reliable electricity to customers following last weekend’s power outage that plunged the country into total darkness for more than eight hours.
Energy Minister Kevin Ramnarine, who is expected to submit a report to Cabinet on Thursday on the blackout, said “the time has come to examine whether we have too many eggs in one basket, the natural gas basket.
“We would want to install some dual fuel capacity in other power plants in Trinidad so we can switch onto diesel fuel oil and continue to supply the country.” Ramnarine said as he discussed the role performed by the Trinidad Generation Unlimited (TGU) power plant in La Brea, south of here, in supplying electricity to the country.
