While the coming on stream of the Amaila Falls hydro project will inevitably change the scope and mode of Wartsila operations in Guyana, it is not likely that its operations will be gradually phased out since fossil fuel generation will have to make up for the shortfall of the hydro during downtime for maintenance.
This is according to Central Manager of Wartsila Caribbean, Aaron Fraser in a comment to the Government Information Agency (GINA) following a meeting with President Donald Ramotar yesterday.
According to GINA, Wartsila has provided 18 years of service to power generation in Guyana
