THE Energy Chamber has welcomed statements from Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Energy Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal about government's intentions to explore natural gas resources located in Grenada's maritime waters.

Persad-Bissessar and Moonilal made their respective statements during and after a swearing-in ceremony for government ministers and parliamentary secretaries at President's House, St Ann's on May 3.

In a statement on May 4, the chamber said, "Gas was discovered in the waters between Grenada and Trinidad in 2017 with the Nutmeg well, but there has been very limited information about the find since then."
