AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoPower Supply: Suriname’s electricity shortages could persist through November as plant maintenance coincides with demand peaking at 296 MW, above current available capacity of 274–291 MW. EBS expects another 30 MW from Afobaka next week, but low reservoir levels leave supply vulnerable. Business Conditions: Paramaribo shopkeepers say homelessness, litter and aggressive behaviour are driving away customers and call for a lasting government response. Regional Contracts: Suriname is among four Caribbean recipients of patrol boats under a U.S. Southern Command agreement worth up to US$36.4 million; production is due to start in 2027, with training and support also included. Climate Risk: A forecast El Niño could raise drought risks for Suriname’s crops and hydropower, adding pressure to agriculture and electricity supply.
