GPL again fails to meet key benchmarks

Guyana Power and Light (GPL) incorporated has once again failed to reach several key benchmarks in the delivery of service including the frequency and duration of blackouts and system losses.

This year’s review of the eight benchmarks in GPL’s Operating Standards and Performance Targets (OSPT), saw company executives telling the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) that while there has been continuous improvements in both of these areas they have still not met their projected achievements in the year 2019.

Additionally the company has failed to collect approximately  $7 billion from the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) over the last two years.
