Compromise needed on NGC, Methanol Holdings gas price dispute 4 Hrs Ago A 2018 photo of the Methanol Holdings (Trinidad) Limited (MHTL) Complex in Point Lisas, Couva. - Photo by Jeff K. Mayers April has only just begun but already its been a bad month for clean energy in TT. First came news that Methanol Holdings (Trinidad) Ltd (MHTL) – part of the Switzerland-based Proman group – has idled two of its plants. This came after MHTL and the National Gas Company (NGC) failed to renew a contract for the continued supply of gas owing to a disagreement over price. NCG cited confidentiality clauses and said it would honour other gas sales contracts with MHTL, while MHTL said it had reached “the absolute limit of our flexibility on contract price and the terms and conditions,” but would continue to engage with NGC and the government.
