Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles is warning citizens to brace for a possible increase in electricity rates, which she says could result from the pending natural gas price hike announced by the National Gas Company (NGC).
Speaking at a People’s National Movement media conference at the Office of the Opposition Leader in Port-of-Spain yesterday, Beckles cautioned that the ripple effects of a 70 per cent increase in gas prices could extend beyond industry.
