GPL amends 50 MW invitation to natural gas only

Just over two months after it said it was seeking a dual-fuel, 50-megawatt (MW) generating plant, the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) yesterday altered the advertisement so that it pertains only to natural gas.

The amendment to the advertisement will raise concerns about the decision-making process at GPL amid ongoing power problems and criticisms from the public.

On September 3rd, GPL in an advertisement said that it was inviting expressions of interest (EoI) for a 50 MW dual fuel – Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) and Natural Gas – fired power plant in or around Georgetown, East Bank Demerara or East Coast Demerara.
