US firm picked for negotiations on gas to energy plant

Cabinet yesterday issued a no-objection to a US firm being ranked  number one to build a 300 MW power plant fuelled by offshore natural gas – drawing the country closer to a project that will spew climate warming residues and be the most expensive public sector undertaking in Guyana’s history, replete with safety and other risks.

President Irfaan Ali made the announcement of the ranking via a video statement on the Office of the President Facebook page.
