Bryan on WAPA: In his own words

2019-2024

Governor Bryan’s 2019 State of the Territory speech:

“WAPA’s fiscal affairs can only be characterized as abysmal. …The reality of the situation is that WAPA has continued to fail us in providing the solutions that will lower our light bills, and we have failed as a government to provide them with the adequate cash flows and the support that would assist in putting them on the right footing.”

Governor Bryan’s 2020 State of the Territory speech:

“To achieve a complete recovery for our territory, we must have reliable and affordable energy, which is the absolute foundation for sustaining a strong economy and a decent standard of living. Last year for the first time in a long time, this government paid its debt in full to WAPA, which enabled the utility to keep the lights on and the water flowing. Now we must focus our efforts on transforming our utility by financially stabilizing the Authority, improving storm resiliency, and increasing the use of renewable energy.”
