The Energy Chamber of Trinidad and Tobago has acknowledged the announcement by Nutrien Ltd. of a controlled shutdown of its operations at Point Lisas. The Chamber noted that Nutrien is a major investor and exporter of ammonia, and its presence remains important to the strength of the downstream energy sector.
In a statement, the Chamber said while it would not comment on commercial negotiations, the development highlights the need to maintain Trinidad and Tobago as an attractive and competitive destination for energy investment. It added that it recognises the Government’s efforts to address gas supply and infrastructure challenges and is encouraged by progress in new upstream projects. The Chamber said it stands ready to assist in finding a resolution that protects jobs, investment, and the future of Point Lisas.
Minister of Energy and Energy Industries Dr Roodal Moonilal confirmed that discussions are ongoing between Nutrien and the National Energy Corporation regarding contractual arrangements for port use and related matters.
