Three Garden of Eden generators back in service

The Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) on Friday said three of its five generators at its 46.5 MW Garden of Eden power plant have been returned to supplying the national grid, after the facility was shut down last month over fears of a possible explosion.

GPL said the three generators, units No.1, 2 and 3, have an aggregate capacity of 27.9 MW.

The company said in a statement that the No 1 unit was fitted with new turbochargers and a fuel injector pump with upgraded components, while the No. 2 and 3 units underwent a comparative test for 48 hrs at full capacity before they were returned to the grid.
