Monday, March 25, 2013
Construction on a pipeline that will bring natural gas from Trinidad & Tobago to the island-nations of the East Caribbean will begin next year, according to the Eastern Caribbean Gas Pipeline company.
The pipeline will begin at the Cove Eco Business and Industrial Park in southwestern Tobago, with the first phase of the US$300 million project to end in Barbados.
Gas will be pumped to Barbados in 2016, according to Greg Rich, the company’s CEO. The gas will be delivered from the BHP Billiton field east of Trinidad to the Cove, which is a US$1 billion processing plant.
The 300 kilometer (186 miles) pipeline will also eventually deliver natural gas to other Eastern Caribbean islands.
