Discrepancy in GPL’s Development Plan 2023-2027 and LCDS 2030?

Dear Editor,

Refer to GPL Development and Expansion Programme Planning Horizon: 2023 – 2027. https://gpline.com/about-us/media-centre, Table 6: Electricity Demand and Peak Power Pg19. The Demerara Berbice Interconnected System (DBIS) 2025 Forecasted Peak Power is 280.6MW.  Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy 2030 chapter 3 paragraph 4, 2025 Forecasted Peak Power is 407MW (https://www.lcds.gov.gy.) There is a discrepancy between Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy 2030 chapter 3 paragraph 4 and GPL Development and Expansion Programme Planning Horizon: 2023 – 2027.

Sincerely,

Gary Sampson
