In the first case, Gonzales said the commission is in the process of restoring lights at the Edinburgh Recreation Ground.

In the second case, Gonzales said the commission completed the installation of outstanding streetlights along a section of Factory Road in Chaguanas where there already an electricity supply
The project was completed on June 17 at a cost of $99,775,36.

“In these circumstances, it is not possible to install streetlights at this time.”
Gonzales said, “The continuation of the grid and the installation of poles and streetlights will be subject to the availability of funding upon further completion of the survey (for the installation of poles and streetlights) and the development of cost estimates by T&TEC.
