Private Sector blasts GPL over unreliable power supply

Following continuing countrywide power outages over the recent months, the Private Sector Commission (PSC) yesterday issued a searing attack on the Guyana Power and Light Company Inc. (GPL), saying that the utility company doesn’t have the management or capacity to deliver reliable power to the public.

“The majority of our citizens are also not blessed with private generators to provide alternative power to save the food they have stored in the freezers and refrigerators,” the PSC statement said.

“Judging from this performance or, to be more accurate, absence of performance, GPL simply have neither the management nor the capacity to deliver a reliable power supply to the country and the government has consistently failed to address this reality,” it added.
