When the sun2live project, a solar farm to be built in Mabaruma, is completed, the new town will have access to some 1,808 kWh of renewable energy per day.
The energy supplier will be constructed by the meeco Group, which is under contract to the Ministry of Public Infra-structure (MPI).
The company made the announcement on its website and explained that its project falls in line with the Government of Guyana’s transition towards 100% renewable energy by 2025. The project, which was birthed as the Hinterland Electrification Company Inc. (HEIC), falls under the MPI and is aimed at reducing the electricity access woes that remote areas of the country currently endure, while reducing their dependence on costly and high polluting diesel generators.
