US Ambassador hails joint venture between local company and US firm

The US Ambassador to Antigua and Barbuda is fully supportive of the joint
venture agreement between local power provider, Antigua Power Company (APC)
Ltd. and the US firm, Eagle LNG.
Speaking at a recent event in St. John’s, Ambassador Linda Taglialatela said the
commercial agreement is already paving the way for Antigua and Barbuda to
utilize cleaner, more efficient energy solutions for the people of Antigua and
Barbuda.
“I am truly happy to see the recent collaboration between the Antigua Power
Company, APUA, and Eagle LNG. Thanks to this partnership, APC and Eagle
LNG will soon complete the state-of-the-art Liquid Natural Gas facility at Crabbes
Peninsula. This partnership will enhance the energy security of Antigua and
Barbuda and promote economic growth for years to come,” she stated.
Just last week, the agreement to begin the dredging of the channel at Crabbes, to
allow for the vessels taking LNG to the onshore facility, was signed between Blue
Ocean and the Antigua and Barbuda Port Authority.
The LNG is the power source to be used in a new 40-megawatt power plant at
Crabbes, that will supply the power to APUA under an agreement.
APC and its partners, Eagle LNG also hope to supply other similar power plants
operating in the sub-region.
