Vancourt Rouse explained that the company’s main interest in Guyana is lending support to the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) Incorporated in lowering the cost of electricity and improving the delivery to various communities, particularly those in remote areas.

“We are looking to help Guyana improve its national competitiveness in certain industries by improving efficiency and cost of energy, which has a very important input in the production of goods and services. So we are looking at the timber industry, rice industry, gold mining operations and the hospitality industry…,” Rouse was quoted as saying by GINA.

Innogen Technologies Incorporated is part of the One Caribbean Media group (OCM) and has been the leading renewable energy installation company in Barbados since 2010, GINA added.
