Why the name “Prometheus Energy Partners”? Prometheus is a figure in Greek mythology that is most renowned for taking fire from the Gods and giving it to mere mortals. The giving of what was once considered sacred and restricted provided a catalyst for inventiveness, productivity and the empowerment of the people. So too, Prometheus Energy Partners will contribute to the sustainable development of the local energy industry and will provide for greater local participation in the form of local ownership of energy sector assets. The name “Prometheus” when translated means “foresight”; and in this vein we are breaking new ground in the local and regional capital markets by being the first private equity portfolio in the Caribbean. |
