AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoWater Security: Prime Minister Terrance Drew says major water infrastructure upgrades have pushed reliable 24-hour supply to about 70% of Saint Kitts, up from just over 20% in 2022, with roughly EC$100 million invested in a new public desalination plant (2 million gallons daily), pipelines, and extra wells to ease pressure on the Basseterre aquifer and reduce saltwater intrusion risk. Climate & Disaster Readiness: Drew also warned that even if the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is forecast to be less active, climate change still raises storm danger, and NEMA/NDMD ran a hurricane preparedness drill simulating “Hurricane Barry” to test coordination and evacuations. Renewables: Nevis geothermal drilling is set to begin later this year, with preparatory works underway and plans for five wells, community engagement, and upgrades that could support future power sharing between Nevis and St. Kitts. Regional Climate Cooperation: Canada and CARICOM renewed a strategic partnership with a new action plan focused on climate action, resilience, and regional security. Recycling & Waste: Taiwan’s embassy joined St. Kitts and Nevis’ Green Expo 2026 with hands-on recycling activities through the local solid waste and recycling project.
