While it has already received approaches, the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) has requested Expressions of Interest (EoIs) from businesses that can potentially supply the Demerara Berbice Interconnected System in order to address its current generation shortfall, which has seen a spate of recent outages across the country.
GPL on Friday issued the Request for EoIs from “technically and financially sound” businesses to submit for the supply of a minimum of 1 megawatt (MW) and a maximum of 30 MW of firm power generation capacity with appropriate substation where necessary to interconnect with the national grid at either 13.8 kV or 69 kV. Generating unit size shall not exceed ten MW, it added.
GPL noted that the Request for EoIs does not constitute an invitation to tender and only suppliers deemed qualified by GPL should qualify to the next stage of the process.
