St.
Georges, November 19th, 2008:
After a series of appeal by the
Opposition for the Government to do
something about the rising cost of
electricity, former Minister for Energy
says he is pleased to hear that GRENLEC
is committing to provide customers with
a relief, but he believes that the
Government must still do its work.
The
Grenada Electricity Services, GRENLEC,
has promised that Grenadians can look
forward to lower electricity rates in
December, since fuel prices have been
reducing.
However,
while the Company has given some measure
of relief to customers, the former
Minister of Energy Mr. Gregory Bowen
said he is making another appeal to the
Minister for energy in the new
Government to meet urgently with the
company. He said consumers can pay far
more than they are paying now if the
price of fuel takes an upward turn again
in the future. The former Minister for
Energy believes that not withstanding
the drop the price the charges are still
high and by a meeting with the company,
the Minister can lobby for consumers to
pay even less than they will pay in
December and at the same time safeguard
them from further increases.
