Senior Reporter[email protected]Former energy minister Stuart Young is warning that multinational corporations could be manoeuvring to take the lead on Trinidad and Tobago’s long-delayed Dragon Gas project, potentially pushing the State to the margins of future negotiations.
Young raised the concern after disclosing that he was contacted by an international energy intelligence analyst, who said Energy Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal discussed Dragon Gas at India Energy Week 2026, which runs from January 27 to 30.
They can’t even acknowledge, both himself and Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who is the president of Venezuela, who owns the Dragon gas.
The Prime Minister said the current structure of the Energy Chamber primarily serves foreign multinational companies and select local interest groups, rather than the wider national interest.
Guardian Media reached out to Energy Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal for comment, but he did not respond up to the time of publication.
