The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) yesterday notified the public that the government’s planned 300 MW natural gas power plant will not require an impact study.
Notice of the decision appeared in the state-owned Guyana Chronicle and will raise further questions about the EPA’s decision.
A plant of this scale and its features would usually require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The EPA’s waiving of this requirement for key oil and gas-related projects has attracted condemnation.
