In fact was there even a feasibility study done for Amaila prior to the PPP making a decision on this?
No I don't, however one can surmise that this was at least discussed before make the Amaila choice. You folks due to your hatred of Jagdeo assumed that he woke up one morning and concluded that the only feasibility study needed was on Amaila.
I am not sure why you folks are calling Amaila a Jagdeo initiative. Here is a snippet from the report.
In 1974-76 GOG carried out a pre-feasibility study of the hydropower potential at Amaila Falls assuming an installed capacity of 200 MW. In 1997, a brief review of this study was done by others. It concluded by suggesting a 165 MW development.
This report found TECHNICAL flaws in the proposed design plus at first glance I do not believe Norconsult did a proper financial analysis. I have to read the report in more detail.
Everyone knows that hydro-power is the best option for Guyana's future, but it has to be done properly before it turns out to be another white elephant like Jagdeo's Skeldon plant. Since the 1970s they been wuking at it and till today we cannot have anything significant!
