Anguilla Electricity Company Ltd. is committed
to improving the environmental performance of the Corito
Power Station. As evidence of this commitment, several
measures have been implemented to reduce negative
impacts on the surrounding environment. Particularly,
efforts have been made with regard to work associated
with the Power Station expansion. These measures form
the basis of an Environmental Policy to ensure that
environmental performance is addressed and improved on
an on-going basis.
It is increasingly important to manage environmental and
safety matters in a well structured manner. An
Environmental Policy is critical as many environmental
accidents originate from poor organisation and not from
technical insufficiencies. Anglec's Environmental
Management Plan provides an organisational framework for
the Corito Power Station.
The general objective of the plan is to eliminate or
minimise the station’s impact on resources, the physical
environment and natural processes within the environs of
Corito. This can be achieved by setting environmental
performance targets that are subjected to regular audits
and reassessment, resulting in changes to policy and
protocols that ensure the objectives are met.
In order to ensure that the objective of minimizing the
adverse environmental impacts resulting from the
company’s operation is given the attention it deserves,
Anglec’s environmental performance is reported as an
integral part of the company’s annual report.
Anglec recognizes that new developments are constantly
being made in the field of Environmental Control. We are
committed in our continuing exploration of new
technologies in this field.
