MINISTER of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson, has announced that the Anna Regina Power Plant, which is in full operation, will be commissioned on March 22.

He was at the time speaking to councillors at the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) during a visit to the Pomeroon-Supenaam Region on Friday.

Minister Patterson visited the region to inspect ongoing infrastructural projects that were executed in 2018 and to discuss plans and programmes for 2019.

The minister related that he has been hearing complaints of residents saying the power plant is not in operation and used the opportunity to visit the multimillion-dollar facility to get first-hand information on its current state.

According to Patterson, he is satisfied with the progress made and said Essequibians can expect less power outages.
