GPL aiming at 24-hr power supply for Leguan, Wakenaam

The Guyana Power and Light company is aiming for 24-hour power supply to the Essequibo River islands of Leguan and Wakenaam.

In an invitation for bids published in today’s Guyana Chronicle, GPL says it is seeking to purchase three 600 kW  generating sets for all-day power supply to the islands. For years the islands have suffered from an inadequate power supply.

Bids have to be submitted before July 22, 2011.
