Gov’t says GPL had `crippling’ $13b in receivables when it entered office

The government yesterday said that when it entered office in August 2020, the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) had a “crippling” receivables figure of $13b.

It was the latest salvo in a battle of words between it and former Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson, more recently over the quality of services by Power Producers and Distributors Inc (PPDI).
