The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (NGC) and Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited (PLNL) have announced the successful conclusion of negotiations leading to the execution of a Gas Sales Contract (GSC). This agreement will govern the sale of natural gas to PLNL, marking a significant step forward after a period of constructive negotiations.

Achieving the right balance and ensuring we can satisfy the demands of all our stakeholders requires open discussion, flexibility and a constant focus on the big picture. I wish to thank the teams at PLNL and NGC for their equal dedication to the process and the achievement of a favourable outcome.
