Facilitating Growth in the Light Industrial Commercial Sector (LIC)

Supporting Beyond Business

ABOUT THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL SECTION

What is LIC?

The Light Industrial Commercial (LIC) sector comprises a range of commercial, manufacturing, food and transport industries, producing goods for both domestic and foreign distribution. These include bottles, building materials, asphalt products, industrial gases, bakery goods, alcoholic beverages and paper/tissue products, among many others. NGC’s approximately 110 customers in the LIC sector consume an average of 8,000 mmbtu per day, or 1.2% of NGC’s supply. Although a relatively small gas consumer, the LIC sector is extremely valuable to the economy – as a generator of foreign exchange, and employer of approximately 15000 people.
