The ESG welcomes the news that the LNG project for power supply has taken the crucial step of producing and feeding energy into the grid.

The group is closely following air and noise pollution issues in both the South and North districts and know there will be environmental gains in certain areas once the new Power Station is up and running, for example, in the reduction and elimination of pollution achieved by the decommissioning of all skid generators and an ageing GibElec Power Station.

The ESG calls upon Government to provide a clear timeline to the community for when the new Power Station will be fully operational.
