Well probably it was a little out of contex, but sometimes you have to make references to ALL those with Convenient Cataract and Cross Eyes.

I remember at a party, there was a blackout, after about an hour and a half later, and many shots of rum, there were typical shouts of lights! lights! You know you are in Guyana immediately.

Nobody asked squat about Vzla or The Congo or Timbuktoo. This is about GPL, stick to the issues. Who cares about why there are blackouts elsewhere? Let them solve their problems. GPL must solve theirs. Do we continue to swim in mediocrity??? The issue here is Guyana and GPL. The next thing we will hear is Burnham had this problem. Well my friend, Burnham did not solve this problem, his government is history. Guyana voted for a change, it is time for the present government to solve this problem, if they cannot then it is time to make way for a new government. It is time for Guyana to progress into the future.

GPL is probably doing shoddy work. You will know when shoddy work is done whenever there is a small rainstorm and electricity goes off. This kind of practice was discovered in Florida after the last hurricanes, and the power suppliers are closely being scrutinized.

Goat shit does only wait fuh lil breez fuh roll.
Not only Guyana with blackouts.
In Vzla with 3 mega hydro dams supplying Colombia/Brazil with electricity does have sometimes almost Nationwide blackouts, in the Penthouses we have Solar Powered Enviromental friendly panels as standby….

The mess developed because they never replaced the No. 3 Mirlees set at Canefield and like you quite rightly mentioned they had at least a five year headstart to build a 69 KV transmission line from Skeldon to No. 53 (12 miles). Talk about incompetence.

Had the 69 kv transmission line been in place the Wartsilla set at Skeldon could poer the entire Berbice along with whatever GPL have limping along; and now that the factory is being commissioned power from the two 15 megawatts steam turbines could be supplemented to meet any demand with the Wartsilla units which are primarily for use in the “out of crop” period.

The problem in Demerara is that the took out the 27 MW steam units before finding replacement generating capacity; at least one unit could have been kept for redundancy.
