While Minister of State Joseph Harmon had said Government shelved the idea of continuing the Amaila Falls Hydro Power (AFHP) project, Natural Resources Minister Raphael Trotman affirmed that the project is actually a renewable energy option for the Government.
Trotman was at the time fielding questions before the Natural Resources Committee of the National Assembly. Asked about the conflicting statements on hydro, he denied that the project was off the table.
But while he noted the project, which was a brainchild of former President Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, has potential, the minister observed that funding is an issue. In addition, Government is still interested in using the natural gas that goes hand in hand with oil production.
