00:01A new government-appointed board for the Power Generation Company of Trinidad and Tobago is expected soon.
00:07This was revealed by Public Utilities Minister Barry Pidaros at PowerGen's 30th Annual Special Children's Fundy
00:14at the PowerGen Penal Sports Ground in Sine Village, Penal, today.
00:191,300 children from 30 special needs schools across the country took part in a day of parade and races.
00:29I am the line minister with responsibility for PowerGen, so I'm very happy this morning to join with PowerGen
00:35in celebrating our nation's special needs children.
00:39And purely coincidental, today the cabinet will appoint the board of PowerGen,
00:43so therefore we are very happy to continue this partnership, but also to bring some new initiatives to PowerGen.
00:50Speaking to reporters, Pidaros says PowerGen has also been moved from under the Ministry of Energy
00:55and transferred to his ministry.
00:59To sort of synchronize and synergize the energy relationship and energy production and agreements
01:05with the Ministry of Public Utilities and TNJ, we thought it would have a greater synergy
01:10in terms of that relationship and that's why PowerGen is now coming to the Ministry of Public Utilities
01:15and we'll continue to lend our support to these type of activities, but I think there's much more that can
01:20be done
01:21and we're down to the benefit of the people of Trinidad and Tobago, particularly as it relates
01:25to the Power Purchase Agreements.
01:27Thank you very much.
01:27Thank you very much.
