CAHILL ENERGY LIMITED – The SECRET COMPANY
Clare Cowan, CEO of Cahill Energy
There has been a lot of discussion about the company government has decided to partner with to build a Waste to Energy plant on 166 square mile Barbados. BU notes CAHILL ENERGY LIMITED does not have a Certificate of Good Standing available when an inquiry is done on the Guerney Registry website. There is also an alert the company has to be re-registered – as a result, the company profile will not contain any director or resident agent information – see CAHILL ENERGY LIMITED search .
The following is a snippet from the CAHILL ENERGY Barbados agreement:
Cahill Energy Barbados During the period when the agreement is effective, CEB enjoys exclusive processing right for the increments of waste in Barbados, and Cahill enjoys the exclusive right to develop WtE factories in Barbados Processing fee per ton charged by CAHILL ENERGY BARBADOS is subject to the type of waste material: For contract waste material consisting of municipal solid waste or commercial or industrial waste, the fee is $30/ton. For any kind of contract waste material consisting of tires, the fee is $50/ton. For contract material consisting of hazardous waste, the fee is $250/ton. If the average calorific value of the waste material is below the target value (12-‐ 14MJ/kg), the processing fees will increase by 5% to 14%.
GoB has agreed to provide for the project no less than 550 tons per day of contract waste material and no less than 900 tons per day of waste and biomass. It has also agreed to provide for the project no less than 450 tons per day of contract biomass and no less than 1000 tons per Cahill Energy Barbados During the period when the agreement is effective, CEB enjoys exclusive processing right for the increments of waste in Barbados, and Cahill enjoys the exclusive right to develop WtE factories in Barbados Processing fee per ton charged by CAHILL ENERGY BARBADOS is subject to the type of waste material: For contract waste material consisting of municipal solid waste or commercial or industrial waste, the fee is $30/ton.

If any clause in the “Implementation Agreement” is not fulfilled by the GoB, and CEB chooses to terminate the “Implementation Agreement”, then CEB has the right (but not the obligation) to require the GoB to buy out the project. The price of such a buyout will be the sum of the total equity investment made in the project, the total unamortized debt, compensation for the loss of potential investment returns caused by the premature termination of the contract and other losses incurred.
Cahill Energy Barbados will suspend operation for a maximum of 35 days a year for maintenance. If the suspension period is shorter than 35 days, due to the fact that the seller is obliged to buy electricity from the project, extra revenue will be generated. When operation is to be suspended, the CEB must coordinate with BLPC, but CEB doesn’t have to obligation to provide alternative electricity during suspension. The CEB may also suspend operation due to other emergency maintenance needs.

Sinklair needs to get his facts right
Cahill will only be responsible for what’s inside the battery limits the government is responsible for everything outside
Water to the site, gas to the site roadways outside the site boundary including strengthening of culverts and bridges drying of the king grass unloading facilities for metallurgic coke needed in the gasifier the grid connection and we can only assume the temp grid connection for construction.
Where does he think the money for this is going to come from

Why would a Guernsey company have a Barbadian lawyer as a director? However lawyers represent clients. Interedting to see those who are large local clients of the same firm. Coincidence obviously.

the blp misfits are so annoying. why as a people the blp party and leadership continue to use fear tactics to decry govt proposal, why ! why! why? where are your proposals to contain the high volume of garbage that the blp leadership and antagonist always condemn. tell the country where are your solutions to the daily problem of garbage .this constant bombardment to oppose rather than bring sound and applicable solutions to hard and pressing issues that deal with the environment can only go so far and take you so far along the road of opposing , the fact and truth of the matter is that people want solutions and giving none is not the correct method or formula to undertake matters that are crucial and critical to the development safety and protection of this country . Fear tactics that are meant to inhibit fear and dumb down a country and citizens into a false sense of security and hurt every one in the long interim run the high risk of overheating and at some point and time becoming volatile and explosive.The BLP tactics of fear are well known political apparatus used in the by gone era and were affected before the advent of technology .However do not be fooled by such empty noises which eventually would rebound and leaving you looking like cowardice hiding idly from your own fear,Those tactics like waste have been recycled many times over to the point of no return, lest we forget (that) the world is smaller because of the free access to information which avail itself to all and we are living in an modern era of advance education where no one is required to listen or agree to any one side of any story
The question which most bajans would asked themselves first and foremost is whether or not the WTE plant would be a save costing project to their pockets,all the other technical stuff would be filtered and toss in the garbage waiting to be incinerated at the WTE plant,
Therefore misfits and merchants of fear and doom beware of what you say and don;t expect much unless you have something worthwhile to offer the people of barbados in terms of cost savings.

To amused and the other BU lawyers out there (who have been remarkably silent on this matter) could one of you read the leak above and comment for the BU family?
The agreement says:-
If any clause in the “Implementation Agreement” is not fulfilled by the GoB, and CEB chooses to terminate the “Implementation Agreement”, then CEB has the right (but not the obligation) to require the GoB to buy out the project. The price of such a buyout will be the sum of the total equity investment made in the project, the total unamortized debt, compensation for the loss of potential investment returns caused by the premature termination of the contract and other losses incurred.
Is there a similar clause related to GoB’s right to terminate the implementation agreement if any clause therein is not fulfilled by CEB?
If not, why not.

Are-We, that is one set of excellent questions for the lawyers but what about the very basic one.
How could the Ministers and their team commit the GoB to such a risk liability of over $$ 1/2 Billion and this matter not be fully discussed at Cabinet (and the nation)?
My basic layman’s reading of that clause suggests that the vendor was in a very powerful position and was offering something so in demand that the GoB was so utterly dependent on them that the vendor was able to ‘insure’ the financial health of their project with that powerful exit clause.
Fah true…what was so ‘must have’.
Awesome for any business, but ridiculous for such a project “Though the agreement itself has not set any specific environmental standards…”
So I understand why you are looking for the GoB’s exit clause but we first need to know how we could get into this contract in the first place.
What a web of deceit.

De Ingrunt Word;
I agree with your question above “How could the Ministers and their team commit the GoB to such a risk liability of over $$ 1/2 Billion and this matter not be fully discussed at Cabinet (and the nation)?”
The answer must lie somewhere in the continuum of:
They know that there will be nothing to fear from their PM if the matter is exposed?
They have no respect for their PM
They are totally amoral
They have less respect for the people of Barbados.
Filthy lucre.
They know that they will win this battle like all the previous ones because of the intransigence not only of the PM but of Bajans in general.
etc. etc.
Just consider that approaching 2 weeks after the expose the PM or his office has not responded, even obliquely, to the charges but is concentrating on the HoGs hot air meeting.
They think the charges will evaporate under the extremely onslaught of yardfowl commenters on the MAM qualifications non-issue.
Civil society, even the Canadian L&P company has not unpicked its teeth.
Things are worse in Barbados than you imagine and I don’t see a safety valve anywhere.
