South America, Caribbean hydrocarbons roundup
Paraguay's state oil company Petropar began selling LPG at its service stations after it received the first shipment of the gas from Bolivia's state hydrocarbons company YPFB.
The price of the LPG, sold under the brand Ñande Gas, will be 5,000 guaranies (US$0.88) a kilo, the NOC said in a statement.

Puerto Rico's energy commission CEPR said it would reconsider a decision to reject power utility's AEE's integrated resource plan. Rejecting the plan, according to AEE, would paralyze the Aguirre OffShore Gasport project.
The request to review the decision was made by AEE.
CEPR has 90 days to make a decision.

The US Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (WAPA) said it completed the commissioning of two of its three 20MW generating units on St Croix, adding that the island is now completely powered by propane (LPG).
"This marks the first time in the utility's 52-year history that a fuel source other than oil is being burned to generate electricity," said WAPA.
The third unit at the Estate Richmond power station is in commissioning. Units on St Thomas, St John and Water Island are also being commissioned.
