he Guyana Power and Light (GPL) Incorporated has several projects in train to maximise the potential of power generation in both the short and long term.
Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Strategic Operations at GPL, Samaroo Ramtahal told the Department of Public Information (DPI) that they were looking at three avenues.
One of the projects entails securing an additional five megawatts of power from the Giftland Mall through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
Personnel are currently on the ground working on the connections, and GPL expects to see the project completed by month-end. This will bring much-needed relief and mitigate blackouts for thousands of residents on the East Coast Demerara corridor.
The Giftland system has a 6.7-megawatt output capacity. However, it only uses 1.6 megawatts during prime operations.

Guysuco should be producing solar power and selling it to the Electricity corporation.

They could use cheap sugar to attract manufactures who uses this product in large quantities worldwide. Guysuco has enough land to create an Industrial Park to house those kinds of businesses. And supply cheap electricity as well, from the begasse usuage.

There has never been an opportunity as this in the world for sustainable rural employment. Most times development is done in the cities and towns. In Guyana's case, in the bush.

I have the plans. Not easy to get in touch with the Business Czar, the President, the Vice-President or Mustafa. I guess emails doan reach Government of Guyana.

There will be lots of Industrial parks as soon as the windfall from oil revenues comes in.  This could be as soon as 2025.

We should allow events to happen without trying to change them. Usually,  one is willing to accept a result, whatever it may be.
