The Private Sector Commission (PSC) has thrown its support behind the proposed Wales gas to shore project as the organisation believes that the benefits to this country will far outweigh any counter arguments.
“You have a less populated area, from a safety perspective. From a revitalization of the economy perspective, you had a sugar estate that was closed down so you have the labour pool. From a general perspective, we are positive on anything that brings down the energy costs,” Chairman of the PSC, Nicholas Boyer told the Sunday Stabroek on Thursday when contacted.
Boyer further explained that being a member of the Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) Board, he was privy to a study and recommendation by the past APNU+AFC government which had proposed the Ogle, East Coast of Demerara area as the site for landing of the gas pipes. He said that he was shocked that such a recommendation was made as he could not fathom anyone agreeing to have such infrastructure near to residential communities.
