The Antigua Power Company’s (APC) win at the Privy Council yesterday is likely to cost the country millions of dollars, but this is still to be determined.

Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer said the threat of Antigua Power Company (APC) pulling the plug on electricity generation in the country would continue into 2013.

Chairman of the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) Clarvis Joseph said, despite suggestions to the contrary from the Antigua Power Company (APC), APUA has several other expenses beyond the cost of electricity it pays them.

The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) has revealed plans to build a renewable energy power plant, as government continues to pledge its commitment to green initiatives.

Senior member of the Antigua Labour Party, MP Molwyn Joseph, says the recent controversy between state-owned Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA), and Hadeed family-run Antigua Power Company (APC), has proven the US $47 million Chinese funded power plant is not new.

Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) charges the public more than three times as much for electricity than the cost of generation.

The Antigua Power Company (APC) did not carry out its threat to completely shut all the generators at its two power plants yesterday.

Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer is of the view Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) management dropped the ball as it relates to its preparedness to address scheduled maintenance of the Chinese funded Wadadli Power Plant.

A senior official from the state-owned electricity provider has shot down suggestions that the company was in over its head in the care and maintenance of its newest major asset – the Wadadli Power Plant.

For at least six weeks, until very recently, only one of the six supposedly new generators at the Wadadli Power Plant (WPP) was functioning, according to well-placed sources.
