Power plant upgrade completed

The Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) has been advised by
Independent Power Producer (IPP) Trinidad Generation Unlimited (TGU) that the
scheduled upgrade work at its Union Estate Plant, which necessitated a total plant
shutdown by TGU, has been successfully completed and the plant is now fully back
online. As such, the other IPPs, PowerGen and CotourGlobal Trinity have been
instructed to return to normal operations.
The Minister of Public Utilities, the Honourable Marvin Gonzales thanks the three IPPs for the collaborative work done to allow for the smooth completion of TGU’s
upgrade works. He also expressed his commendation to all employees and
partners who worked to ensure that all processes went as planned and no outages
were required, even with the country’s primary power plant being shut down. We
are also grateful to customers for their assistance by managing their consumption
over the period.
