The Energy Year remembers Mark Loquan

PORT OF SPAIN, April 7, 2025 – Mark Loquan, long-serving president of Trinidad and Tobago’s National Gas Company (NGC), passed away on Sunday.

Calling Mr Loquan a “great patriot, Prime Minister and Minister of Energy and Energy Industries Stuart Young took to Facebook to express his condolences.

“Mark and I worked very closely together on many, many, transactions in the gas sector from 2017 until he fell ill in February of 2024. We brainstormed together and we fought many battles together to secure a better future for Trinidad and Tobago,” Prime Minister Young said.

“He was a talented and humble man. Someone genuinely concerned about our country and dedicated to doing his part to make it better. Whether it was composing music for the pan, strategizing the future of our gas industry or negotiating for better terms and conditions for Trinidad and Tobago Mark did it with a level of passion and excellence.”
