NewGen Energy wins the Energy Chamber’s inaugural Innovation and Technology Challenge at the T&T Energy Conference.

From the 31st May to 2nd June 2022, the Energy Chamber of Trinidad & Tobago held its first in-person T&T Energy Conference since the onset of the global pandemic in 2020. The event was held as a hybrid event with both in-person and virtual streams and networking opportunities, while the traditionally well attended trade show also ran alongside the conference.

You would not usually expect an energy conference to feature both the author of a historical novel and a painter, but we like to be a bit different at the Trinidad & Tobago Energy Conference. We are sure that Amanda Smyth (the novelist) and Krishna Persad (the painter) are going to offer something exciting and stimulating at this year’s edition of the Conference.

There is an unfortunate perception that there is little innovation that takes place in the Caribbean energy sector and that any new technology or new process improvements are simply imported from elsewhere. The Energy Chamber of Trinidad & Tobago’s inaugural Innovation and Technology Challenge suggests that this perception is misplaced.
