AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Power & Energy Security: Former Gov. Ralph DLG Torres says his top priority, if elected, is stabilizing CNMI’s power system with a new Saipan power plant plus expanded renewables like solar with battery storage, hydrogen storage and wind, including pilot projects for Rota and Tinian to reduce grid dependence. Tourism & Air Service: International flights are back for CNMI after Sinlaku, with Jeju Air resuming direct Seoul–Saipan service (four flights weekly through Oct. 25, daily during peak dates), and leaders urging the islands to retain air partners by improving visitor satisfaction. Visa Policy for Chinese Travelers: CNMI officials and industry groups are pushing back on renewed U.S. scrutiny of EVS-TAP, warning that ending the program without a replacement could deepen the visitor economy slump. Utilities Watch: Commonwealth Utilities Corporation reports a $731,518 year-to-date cash flow deficit through April 30, while Saipan continues moving off FEMA generators as water wells and a sewage lift station connect to the grid. Disaster Food Aid: CNMI outlined Disaster Nutrition Assistance Program eligibility for Sinlaku-impacted households, targeting non-NAP families alongside existing disaster NAP recipients. Business Contracting: Saipan Chamber of Commerce and Marianas Integration will host a free Mentor-Protégé Program Indo-Pacific workshop July 20 for local firms seeking federal contracting and supplier development opportunities.
