AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Nevis Geothermal Push: Nevis Premier Mark Brantley says the drill rig’s final independent inspection is underway in Iceland (Aug. 24–28), clearing the way for mobilisation—another step toward energy independence. Electricity Cost Pressure: Brantley also warned Nevisians that fuel-surcharge returns are driving higher bills, with NEVLEC exploring a 10-megawatt solar farm as a short-term buffer while geothermal advances. Local Governance & Services: Prime Minister Terrance Drew urged Patriots to stay focused after an opening home CPL loss, while Constituency #8 hosts a free Back-to-School Fair (Aug. 29) alongside the EC$250 voucher programme. Tourism & Transport: Caribbean Airlines will cut direct Trinidad–Barbados via Tobago from Sept. 2, continuing connectivity through other services. Community & Resilience: St. Kitts marks Independence 43 with National Tree Planting Day on Aug. 29 (6am–noon), tied to food-security and backyard growing goals. Innovation & Skills: St. Kitts engineer Clecton Phillip’s Voykuh civic platform is now on Google Play in 177 countries, and ECCB runs a Generative AI and Python Summer Camp for youth across the region.
