In his contribution to the debate, Honorable Minister for Trade, Ian Douglas said, “In a couple of years- maybe even before 2030- when we have to begin repaying the loan, we would have developed the plant and started generating revenue from it. We are speaking about the small plant now which will give us a cheaper, more reliable source of energy than we have now.
