Alex Graham

Guyana’s first locally organised international energy conference is being hailed as a success for demonstrating local leadership in the development of the energy sector as well as the creation of a platform for linkages between foreign investors and local businesses.

“The conference and expo was in one word a success,” Communications Director Alex Graham told Stabroek News. 

“We had set ourselves some very specific goals. One of them was to make this a broader discussion beyond oil and gas and to really embrace the wider scope of energy. Oil and gas is just one component of an energy mix that the world needs going forward and we wanted to make sure we covered the scope of energy and energy future and not just get bogged down in oil and gas,” Graham added.
