In addition to the agreement signed with Qatari power company, UCC Holdings, which has a strategic alliance in Latin America for the Turkish Karpower ship, President Irfaan Ali yesterday announced that Cuba will assist with engineers to help manage the Guyana Power and Light’s electricity system.
“They have very skilled technical personnel who they are willing to deploy immediately to work in the system and to help us technically,” the President said in an address to the nation. He informed that following a meeting with Cuban Ambassador, Jorge Francisco Soberon Luis, Havana pledged to have 10 engineers urgently dispatched here.
Ali said that many times, government has sought local engineers but has “not been able to do that due to the demand for engineers.”
