AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Energy & Utilities Reform: Saint Lucia’s lower house has passed a new electricity law that opens the grid to independent green energy suppliers, aiming to cut the island’s risky reliance on fossil-fuel generation. Water Security & Cost Controls: PM Philip J. Pierre reiterated that WASCO rate changes are set by the independent NURC, while the government kept fuel and LPG prices unchanged for June 22–July 12, maintaining diesel and kerosene subsidies and LPG support. Telecom Resilience: Regulators in Dominica and Saint Lucia said Flow’s outage was linked to a fibre fault between Guadeloupe and Antigua, and urged customers to plan backup communication options. Agriculture & Water for Farmers: In Babonneau, a rehabilitation project cleared silt, upgraded filtration and irrigation links, restoring reliable water access for about 50 farmers. Seamoss Industry Recovery: A project is targeting abandoned seamoss farms in Savannes Bay, using mapping and zoning plus more environmentally friendly raft systems. Blue Economy Knowledge: CRFM, FAO and CAF launched an open-access Caribbean Blue Economy Knowledge Hub for fisheries, aquaculture and marine planning, including Saint Lucia. Tourism & Industry Partnerships: The Tourism Authority and Arsenal announced a multi-year global partnership, with Dr. Ernest Hilaire defending the deal while declining to disclose costs. Education for Industry Skills: Saint Lucia launched P.E.R.T., an AI-driven programme to realign education with future workforce needs.
