Ali expects gas to shore project to deliver by end of 2023

Announcing the start of work by the recently appointed Gas to Shore Project Advisory Committee, President Irfaan Ali has said he anticipates the project to materialize by 2023 to deliver affordable energy to Guyanese.

“We have Mr (Winston) Brassington on that committee… they are right now doing the ground work, getting the information, you know, before moving to strong negotiations,” Ali announced on Monday when asked by Stabroek News about when the advisory committee would start work.

 “But our intention, and my hope is work we want to get done, at least by the end of 2023 we can have the gas-to-shore project up and running and we can have natural gas powered energy so that our energy cost can come down,” he added, while noting that all stakeholders will be engaged.
