TAXPAYERS have spent $36.6 million in under six years to preserve the Pointe-a-Pierre refinery.
It is costing $500,000 a month to keep the mothballed plant intact.
Guaracara Refining Company Ltd. has revealed these costs in response to a Freedom of Information request from Andrew Dopson, of Oilfields Workers’ Trade Union (OWTU).
The costs are for the period December 1, 2018 to July 31, 2024.
The facility was shut down on November 30, 2018.
Guaracara said a Request for Proposal was issued for the selection of a contractor to preserve the refinery asset.
Company officials had earlier said it was costing $50,000 a month in refinery caretaker services.
The Government is currently reviewing applications to operate the refinery.
