The Board of Directors of the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) will on Monday meet to decide on purchasing power from the Giftland Mall, which is expected to bring relief to consumers who have recently been subjected to continuous blackouts due to damaged submarine cables.
This was disclosed yesterday by Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency Joseph Harmon, who also said the proposal to purchase two additional generators will also be considered during the meeting.
Following damage to two of the company’s submarine cables, there have been frequent power cuts as a result of the shortfall in supply and load shedding activities. .
The power company subsequently commenced discussions with Giftland and Banks DIH regarding the potentially purchasing power.
