Norway urges gov’t to consider pros of Amaila hydro project

Norway has urged the APNU+AFC administration to consider the merits of the Amaila Falls Hydropower Project (AFHP) since Guyana stands to lose over $16 billion previously earmarked for the project if it fails to come up with a plan for “transformational” renewable energy sources that can be realised in the next few years.

“The merits of the Amaila Falls project should be considered by the Government of Guyana. Norway is a strong supporter of transforming Guyana’s energy sector and significantly reducing energy-related emissions. We see this as a fundamental part of the Guyana-Norway partnership,”
