EPA probe into GPL Kingston fuel spill ongoing

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) probe into the fuel spill at the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) Kingston Power Complex is ongoing and the company has given its assurance to the environmental agency that all efforts are being made to clean up the spill.

Executive Director of the EPA, Vincent Adams, told Stabroek News that due to COVID-19 restrictions his staff have not been able to revisit the site to assess the progress made by the company.

He noted that GPL has given the commitment that they are working to clean up the spill and have identified the problem that led to the spill.
