MAY 9TH 2013 – The ESG is delighted to hear Governments public announcement with its decision on the replacement, new power station for Gibraltar. Given the pollution suffered by many, the news does not come a day too soon. It is hoped that the tender allocation can be decided soon after the 1st of August so that plans for construction can get underway as soon as possile.

The ESG acknowledges the hard work that has gone into researching the best energy choice for Gibraltar today by Government. While using a cleaner fossil fuel based technology in gas, the group also hopes that Government will follow this with a proactive renewable energy programme to enable it to reach its carbon neutral target status to take us onto the next important step of energy security and sustainability.
