Trinity Exploration & Production plc, the independent E&P company focused on Trinidad and Tobago, announced on June 1 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with The University of the West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine Campus, to explore and develop new projects to enable energy transition in Trinidad and Tobago, and, potentially, in the wider Caribbean and beyond.(Logo quoted from Yahoo’s image)

This collaborative initiative is part of Trinity's and UWI's wider strategic objectives to enhance competencies and build capacity in renewables while challenging and further reducing carbon output across the region.

As Trinity drives toward becoming an energy company of scale, this initiative is part of its parallel efforts to both explore and develop energy transition initiatives (such as microLNG, wind and solar power) and to progress carbon emission reduction and offset of Trinity's output. Strong relationships with highly respected institutions like UWI will be fundamental to achieving these important long-term goals.

The world is continuing its energy transition journey and these value-added initiatives will contribute towards maximising the benefits from Trinidad and Tobago's natural resources.This initiative further supports Trinidad and Tobago's ambitions towards lowering GHG emissions in line with best practice and the Paris Accord.  

The MOU covers a range of business opportunities, renewables or otherwise, which may be mutually beneficial to the Parties. The inaugural output from this partnership will be a Wind Resource Assessment project situated in the southeast of Trinidad. The project will gather technical data with a goal to determine the feasibility of developing a renewable energy wind farm at that location in order to generate and supply power to the stakeholders in that region, including Trinity's operations.
