The global energy landscape is changing and the National Energy Corporation – or National Energy – is evolving its business model to adapt.

“Our vision of being a global leader in the development of sustainable energy-based industries,” Dr Vernon Paltoo, National Energy’s president told Business Day recently.

But what exactly does that mean? Well, Paltoo assured, it doesn’t mean a total 180-degree turn away from hydrocarbons – at least just yet. But rather, it’s coming up with ways to better leverage these existing, finite resources and augmenting them with renewable sources of energy, creating new opportunities within a sector for which the country is already well-known.
