President Irfaan Ali says that discussions are underway with several CARICOM leaders on developing a Regional Energy Strategy and providing a clear direction on the way forward.

An Office of the President [OP] release yesterday said that Guyana’s Head of State made this disclosure at the opening ceremony of the Suriname Energy, Oil and Gas Summit  in Paramaribo. “We are proposing to move rapidly on a Regional Energy Strategy to look at all the potential areas for investment, to bring investors together, bring the markets together and to see how, as quickly and transparently as possible, we can unlock those opportunities.” This strategy, the release added, will allow investors to have a “fair and clear” understanding of the policy and energy needs of the region.
