GPL still mum on rental costs for Turkish power ship

The Guyana Power and Light (GPL), remains in the dark on the costs for the rental of the powership from Qatari company, UCC, but President Irfaan Ali yesterday said that the vessel will leave Cuba today for Guyana.

Despite Ali telling reporters yesterday that GPL will have more information relating to deal, efforts to contact GPL’s Management Committee Head, Kesh Nandlall, were yesterday met with messages that he would return a call. However, up press time, he had not done so.

Ali, however, said that the rental agreement was feasible, given the current emergency faced by citizens on the coast in relation to power supply that has seen a series of blackouts over the past weeks.
