The En­er­gy Cham­ber of Trinidad & To­ba­go is wel­com­ing the state's de­ci­sion to lease re­fin­ery as­sets to Oan­do Trad­ing.

In a me­dia state­ment, the Cham­ber said they have "long sup­port­ed the pri­va­ti­za­tion of the Guaracara/Pointe-a-Pierre re­fin­ery to put the as­set to pro­duc­tive use."

The Cham­ber added that they were pleased to learn that an in­vestor had been iden­ti­fied to lease the re­fin­ery as­sets from Trinidad Pe­tro­le­um Hold­ings Ltd (TPHL) with the ob­jec­tive of restart­ing re­fin­ing op­er­a­tions.
