PPP ALL THE WAY: LET PROGRESS CONTINUES PART 2
Who is building the dam?
The Project is being developed by Amaila Falls Hydro, Inc (AFH), a member of the Sithe Global Group, which is a leader in the international energy industry. Sithe Global will lead the management and construction of the hydropower plant and transmission line. Sithe Global’s core management team has successfully led the development or acquisition of over 50 power plants comprising more than 15,000 MWs globally. Since combining forces with the Blackstone group in 2005, Sithe Global has achieved financial close on three greenfield projects totaling 1,725 MWs and nearly US$3 billion, including the 250 MW Bujagali Hydroelectric Project in Uganda, which will effectively double that country’s generation capacity.
China Railway Engineering Corporation, one of the world’s largest infrastructure construction companies with significant experience building hydropower plants, will be building the power plant station and transmission lines.
Synergy Holdings, a Guyanese and U.S based company, has been contracted by the Government of Guyana to construct new and upgrade existing access roads to the hydropower site.
