Lindeners question Amaila developers over jobs, cost of power

This group had an intense discourse with a member of the consultation team.

Lindeners yesterday questioned the developers of the Amaila Falls hydropower project, expressing concerns about the cost of power and jobs at a community meeting to discuss the recently released Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report on the project.

A sub-station is expected to be built in the Region Ten mining town and a company official highlighted the benefits of the project during the first of two meetings planned. The other is expected to be held in Georgetown. Despite the small turnout at the early stage of the meet yesterday, organizers were pleased by the participation. Most persons expressed concern about the future of the Linden Utility Services Co-op Society Limited (LUSCSL)
