Citizens face load shedding until mid-December

Citizens will likely face another 45 days of load shedding as GPL says relief generators from Honduras won’t be operational until mid-December.

The Guyana Power & Light Inc. (GPL) has been de-energizing some distribution feeders daily, during peak demand periods to prevent total system shutdowns.

Amid broad public outrage over the shortfall, GPL in a press release yesterday acknowledged the inconvenience these service interruptions are causing and assured customers that the situation will ease in mid-December, since the utility has begun acquiring additional power generation.
