Prome Minister Evelyn Wever – Croes:
ORANJESTAD (AAN)- Na aña 2008 Gobierno di Aruba a dal e prome paso den direccion di transicion pa energia mas limpi. E tempo ey Aruba a construi su prome Parke di Molina na Vader Piet. Na aña 2009 el a drenta den funcion produciendo 30 Megawatt (MW) di coriente cual ta bon pa 16 % di e total di capacidad di coriente cu Aruba tin mester.
Pa e siguiente añanan Utilities Aruba hunto cu WEB y ELMAR lo tin e tarea pa ehecuta e plan nacional di energia di Gobierno pa logra cu nos mes ta produci 45 pa 50 % di nos energia; cual lo ta limpi, renobabel y pagabel.
Durante Gabinete Wever-Croes I a alinea tur stakeholders den sector di energia na Aruba pa yega na un meta comun pa Aruba. E “Energy Policy” aki ta delinea e trayecto cu Aruba lo cana pa logra reduci e dependencia di HFO cu 45 pa 50% pa anja 2023.
Mientras Aruba ta recuperando di e pandemia mundial Covid-19, nos a wordo confronta cu un otro crisis mundial: e guera di Ukraine. Un guera cu ya ta durando pa 6 luna y cu a causa un crisis energetico mundial, cu a causa inflacion severo den prijs di crudo, gas y consecuentemente di energia. Nos companianan estatal di utilidad, a absorbe mas cu nan tabata por di e impacto di aumento di costo di energia. Sinembargo pa nan por sigui opera pa Aruba como pais por sigui funciona y desaroya, e prijsnan mester a wordo ahusta. Cu menos efecto inflatorio y mas social cu ta posibel.
Afortunadamente Gobierno di Aruba ya tabata tin su plan nacional di energia cla, y cual ta inclui reduci dependencia di HFO y expande nos capacidad pa produci mas energia di e biento cu ta supla constante; e noordoostpassaat cu nos dushi isla di Aruba ta bendiciona cu ne. Y tambe genera mas energia di esolo.
E meta ta cu pa 2050 lo por logra di ta “Klimaat Neutraal” esta cu nos a logra elimina tur emision di CO2 of si tin mes; nos lo tin suficiente produccion di energia limpi pa compensa e cantidad di CO2 emiti.
Aki ta pensa riba suministra WEB cu gas natural LNG como e fuel di transicion. Awor e siguiente paso ta wordo tuma pa expande nos capacidad di energia di biento y asina pronto lo yama ayo na HFO y bonbini na un futuro di energia mas limpi, renobabel y cu prijs stabiel. Tur esaki lo ta bon pa nos economia, nos salud y bon pa nos planeta.

Domestic Electricity Users on Nevis Can Expect Zero Fuel Surcharge; Lower Rates for Commercial Users as of September 2022, Premier Brantley Says
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: ZIZ Broadcasting Corporation
Charlestown, Nevis, August 31, 2022 (NIA) – The fuel surcharge applied by the Nevis Electricity Company Limited (NEVLEC) to the monthly electricity bill for domestic users will be removed as of the next billing cycle in September 2022.
Hon. Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis, made the announcement at his monthly press conference on August 30, 2022, while disclosing the arrangement made by the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) to reduce consumers’ electricity bills. The increasing price of oil on the world market has resulted in the increasing cost of electricity production by NEVLEC.
“We’ve come up with a plan to eliminate the fuel surcharge for domestic users…We propose ultimately to eliminate the fuel surcharge for everyone but in this first step, we will eliminate the fuel surcharge for residential customers only.
“The NIA will provide an additional $500,000 per month to NEVLEC. That will take therefore, our payment for this subsidy per month to a total of $1.75 million, and the good people at NEVLEC are telling us that if we can give them $1.75 million per month, and the actual surcharge remains on or about 77 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) – that’s what the actual surcharge was in the month of July – that they can reduce with that subsidy the fuel surcharge for residential customers to zero, and so that is what we proposed to do,” he said.
The Premier, who is also the Minister of Finance, noted that the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) and its Cabinet had for weeks agonised over the increasing cost of fuel surcharge to consumers and though they had taken a decision to assist NEVLEC with a $2.5million subsidy. The move provided some assistance but the added funds would allow NEVLEC to eliminate the cost to domestic users.
“The commercial consumers will continue to pay the fuel surcharge. However, we will cap the fuel surcharge to them at 65 cents. So it means that they too will get some relief. That is the plan.
“Now, of course, the plan can go awry if fuel prices were to escalate exponentially going forward but based on what we are seeing that prices might have stabilised and/or prices might actually be a bit lower for August, the good people at NEVLEC, the technicians, are saying to us that this plan is doable,” he said.

Basseterre, St. Kitts, August 31, 2022 (PLP) — Former Prime Minister Dr. The Honourable Timothy Harris and Leader of the Peoples’ Labour Party join world leaders in recognizing former Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev, who died on Tuesday 30th August 2022. President Gorbachev was a courageous and visionary leader who went to great lengths to ensure global peace and security by instituting unprecedented reforms in the Soviet Union.
These transformative policies dubbed “glasnost and perestroika” would see the opening up of the Russian economy, the dismantling of the Soviet Union, and the significant reduction in military aggression by Russia as the emphasis was placed on reducing the threat of nuclear weapons.
Former Prime Minister Dr. The Honourable Timothy Harris said inter alia “I extend condolences to all those who mourn his loss and remember his courageous efforts to make our world safer and stronger.”

Small and medium-sized local manufacturers are set to benefit following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Saint Lucia Hospitality & Tourism Association and the St. Lucia Manufacturers Association (SMA).
The historic signing took place on August 25th, 2022 during the SLHTA’s annual general meeting (AGM) at the Sandals Grande St. Lucian.
Through the 3-year MOU, the SLHTA has committed to the hosting of tradeshows and conferences to provide manufacturers with a platform to engage with our membership.
Member companies of the SMA will also gain access to the SLHTA’s group health insurance plan, and receive promotional support.

President of the SLHTA, Paul Collymore, said that the MOU signing heralds a renewed commitment to merge the linkages between local manufacturers and the tourism industry. “Whilst it is clear that a number of tourism operators currently do business with some manufacturers,” the President noted, “it is also clear that this has to be expanded greatly.”
He went on: “These tradeshows and conferences are designed to achieve the single purpose of getting manufacturers to connect with hotels and tourism service providers. The SLHTA has also committed to hosting discussion forums in which we can identify problems hindering our manufacturers from accessing export markets, and brainstorming solutions to overcome these challenges.”
Collymore pointed out that employees of the SMA’s member companies will also benefit via the provision of training and development support. “It is the hope of the SLHTA that this partnership with the SMA will grow from strength to strength over the coming years, and we will unlock better opportunities as we build forward better, together!”
Vice President of the SMA, Nicholas Barnard, noted that by working together, the organisations can create a conducive environment that promotes opportunities for a wider cross-section of Saint Lucians. “I’m delighted to sign this MOU,” he declared.
“This MOU formalizes an already close relationship and will lead to a deeper level of collaboration between our organisations. We hope that this results in great exposure for our members, through the commitment by all stakeholders to communicate and interact regularly.”
He told stakeholders that in order for the tourism industry to grow, citizens must buy into its benefits.
He said that this requires a sustainable economy characterised by productive and innovative sectors that are collectively doing well. Entrepreneurs need to succeed and thrive, he stressed.
The Vice President went on: “As manufacturers and processors, we want to collaborate with hospitality leaders to be innovative and creative in developing products and services that can enhance the Saint Lucia experience. We want to be part of a partnership that promotes growth and opportunities through to the smallest community. We want to produce high quality products and provide services that complement and enhance the flavour of brand Saint Lucia.”
In closing, he added: I would like to thank the SMA and SLHTA teams for the drafting of this MOU, and assure them of our commitment to abide by all sections of it. This, I believe, will allow us to play our part in steering our sectors in a prosperous, equitable and mutually beneficial direction.”
In her address at the AGM, Acting Minister for Commerce, Hon. Pauline Antoine-Prospere, lauded the two organisations for the move. The acting minister described the signing as a momentous occasion that marked the evolution of sectoral collaboration in the interest of national development.
Said Antoine-Prospere: “It is imperative that we work together to achieve more and catapult our recovery as a nation. This singing of the MOU denotes a willingness to build linkages and cement networks for local manufacturers whose challenges are too often overlooked.”
