High-level participation from Govt at Energy Conference 2022 – Pres Ali

President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali on Thursday disclosed that his Government was pleased to partner with the International Energy Conference and Expo for the four-day event scheduled for mid-February in Guyana.
“We believe that the multi-faceted nature of the Conference is in keeping with the national drive for holistic development and investment opportunities of Guyana,” the Head of State said.

The Government will actively contribute to the Conference at the level of the President, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, and other members of the Cabinet.
The Head of State added that the Government was pleased that other global agencies would participate in various discussion sessions on energy, oil and gas, climate change, and food security among other areas.
“We look forward to a successful conference and welcoming the many international delegations to Guyana,” Dr Ali noted.
The energy conference, launched in September of this year, will be held under the theme, “Charting a Sustainable Energy Future”, from February 15-18, 2022.
It aims to bring together leading experts – both local and international.
Only a few days ago, the Private Sector Commission (PSC) endorsed the event. This comes mere weeks after Natural Resources Minister Vickram Bharrat and the Guyana Oil and Gas Energy Chamber (GOGEC) pledged their support for the event as well.
PSC Chairman Paul Cheong had stated: “The PSC is pleased to be partnering with the organisers of the energy expo. It’s a good opportunity for local businesses to connect and explore partnerships with foreign investors/businesses. Also, we are urging all local businesses to come on board, as this is a good initiative that will benefit Guyana greatly as it develops capacity in the energy sector.”
The PSC is committed to the promotion of a vibrant and dynamic Private Sector as the engine of growth in Guyana, the achievement of a welfare standard for citizens, and the addressing of pertinent issues in the national interest. The PSC has a broad membership base ranging from the agriculture sector to mining sector and now companies involved in Guyana’s energy sector.
The conference continues to receive tremendous support from local, regional and international business communities, regional Government leaders, and industry experts.
