Lawmaker Calls for Summit on Curaçao's Oil and Energy Future

Member of Parliament Ishahier Monte of the ruling MFK party is calling for a high-level summit to discuss the future of Curaçao's oil and energy sector. Monte has formally written to Prime Minister Gilmar 'Pik' Pisas, also of MFK, requesting that the government organize the top-level consultations. The proposal signals growing political urgency around Curaçao's energy direction, particularly as the island continues to navigate the future of its refinery and broader energy transition. Curaçao's oil refinery at Isla has long been a central economic and environmental issue for the island, with its operational future remaining uncertain. A government-convened summit would bring key stakeholders together to chart a path forward for one of the island's most strategically important sectors. The move reflects increased pressure on the Pisas administration to take a more proactive stance on energy policy.
