About Us
Trinidad Generation Unlimited (TGU) owns and manages a major fuel-efficient 720-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle power plant in Trinidad and Tobago.
The TGU facility is the largest combined-cycle power plant in the Caribbean and currently supplies approximately 50% of Trinidad and Tobago’s electrical energy. TGU is owned by the National Investment Fund Holding Company Limited (NIF); the latter is a wholly owned entity of the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (GORTT).
