NASSAU, The Bahamas – Stellar Energy Ltd and Stellar Waste to Energy Ltd are encouraged by the interest in making waste-to-energy an integral party of The Bahamas’ Energy Reform platform.
Stellar Energy Ltd has been in talks with the Government of the Bahamas for a number of years, negotiating a plan for a large scale Plasma Gasification Waste to Energy Plant at the New Providence landfill site.
Over the years, Government, through its ministries, has shown an interest in this technology. Members of opposing political parties have also recognized what a waste-to-energy facility can do for The Bahamas, not only to reduce the cost of electricity, but also as a tool to end the vexing and hazardous fires at the dump, such as the one that has been burning since Easter Sunday.
On August 13, 2015 Stellar Energy Ltd received a letter from the Bahamas Investment Authority confirming that they are in receipt of our files, and will present them to the National Economic Council, as well as the Bahamas Investment Authority at their next meeting. Six months later we have been told the Authority has not yet met on this matter, despite an assurance that our file is complete and needs no further explanation. We eagerly await a reply, as this process is as expensive as it is time consuming.
Stellar Energy is still strongly committed to seeing significant reductions in the cost of electricity as well as being an integral part of a permanent solution to the ever growing challenges at the New Providence landfill. Our commitment also extends to creating more jobs and ownership opportunities for Bahamians.
