An energy auditing and management training programme is currently underway at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre that is aimed to equip local businesses and entrepreneurs with the tools to optimise their energy usage.
The two-day training session is being coordinated by the Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean Export) in collaboration with the Guyana Trade and Investment Exhibition (GuyTIE).
Speaking at the commencement of the programme yesterday, CEO of GO-Invest, Owen Verwey, said this activity is important to skill sets that can be applied across Guyana.
The training targets companies in the manufacturing sector seeking to optimize their energy usage. Participants will understand how to evaluate projects and monitor performance, learn how to effectively monitor energy consumption as well as an understanding of how renewable energy technologies work. It will also equip firms with the skills and tools needed to effectively manage their energy activities efficiently and to utilise renewable energy opportunities. The participants will also be introduced to Caribbean Export’s Energy Self-Assessment Audit tool in measuring energy usage.
