Energy Minister Roodal Moonilal has signalled a reset in this country’s approach to regional energy diplomacy, admitting that previous administrations failed to synchronise T&T’s hydrocarbons strategy with developments in Guyana and Suriname.
Speaking on the second day of the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo in Georgetown, Moonilal positioned Port-of-Spain as an industrial partner ready to support emerging producers, while conceding that opportunities for closer alignment had not been fully pursued in recent years.
Addressing delegates, Moonilal said the current administration, led by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, has given a clear policy directive since taking office in April 2025 to deepen engagement with its Caricom neighbours on energy integration and long-term planning.
