Both these sources are intermittent power, so these investments in more sustainability would also require investments for maintaining reliability of the actual power production. Without the right framework, these investments could have endangered the affordability of actual energy tariffs. To resolve this energy trilemma, the framework \u201cRAS\u201d, was created in which the right balance between Reliability, Affordability and Sustainability is pursued. The right balance was only achievable if actual energy tariffs would\u00a0remain the same, or even better, reduced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background Utilities Aruba NV (UA) was established in 1990 with its sole shareholder being the Government of Aruba.
