This dude and the ones he rely on for advice do not know what they are talking.

I wrote something on this an I am waiting to see if SN will publish it.  I will post here afterwards for discussion.

You did an analysis ??

Oil and gas will flow soon what's your take on gas powered electrical plants.

Just comments based on the Norconsult report and some of my own observations.

From what I understand the oil find is too far away to pipe in natural gas from the site.  If they can have sufficient  on-site gas storage then they could use gas to meet the peak load when needed.  Seems to me hydro is the was to go to meet base load (normal load).

…Govt. looking to pursue green energy; aiming at ‘satisfactory mix’
President David Granger posits that Guyana’s hope at becoming a ‘Green State’ does not solely depend on the Amaila Hydropower project. According to the President “it is not Amaila or death.”

“Rather than depend on Amaila we can focus on half a dozen sites. Amaila is very expensive and I don’t think that the expectation that we bring down the cost of electricity would be fulfilled.”

Utter nonsense by David Granger. Perhaps, he is another world of his own and completely unaware of the extraordinary costs to have several small projects in selected areas rather than pursuing the Amaila hydroelectric power project.

Bhai DG, that is expected of him. Not smart at all. No brains required to destroy a country.

What impact this jackass Granger think he will make by pursuing other sources green power?

A small country like Guyana has minimal impact on the environment, the bigger power consuming and industrial nations like the US and China are the ones that need to pursue green power.

Bhai, these Ju Ju chaps in the PNC can only eat dry coconuts, tax, fete and spend.

So tell us what does a sleazy Indo do when not killing poor blacks as now being lookedinto by the UN?

Granger seem to have things backwards.  Amelia would have provided that main backbone for the economy to grow and bring huge savings in foreign currency.  From this sound base, the Govt can then launch other initiatives such as smaller projects and other power alternatives to meet growing demand.

Amelia was there now.  All other projects are years away starting from now!  Granger can talk around all he wants, he knows Amelia was the best option!

Before the 2015 election, the AFC has all the answers. The question is where are there voices now? Moses kakmootoo promised Billions for the Sugar Industry but instead he attempted to raise  his social strata so high that he left hanging from the ceiling. TK, Sase Singh and the rest of the coolies who helped bring down the PPP cannot be found.  Where are they?

…Govt. looking to pursue green energy; aiming at ‘satisfactory mix’
President David Granger posits that Guyana’s hope at becoming a ‘Green State’ does not solely depend on the Amaila Hydropower project. According to the President “it is not Amaila or death.”

President David Granger

Granger made his position known during the recent televised programme The Public Interest. The Head of State was asked to comment on a recommendation made in the final report of the future of the Amaila project done by Norconsult AS of Norway.
The report had recommended that government should take a second look at the Hydropower project which was intended to produce 165 megawatts of power.
The President said that his government has examined the project from every point of view and has realised that there are other forms of generating sustainable energy instead of depending on one single project.
“All we’re asking is that Norway should look at a menu of measures for generating green energy, and I think we can reach an agreement. So it is not Amaila or death, it is green energy, and we feel that we have been able to put a satisfactory mix to the government of the Kingdom of Norway.”
According to Granger, Guyana can have several projects because there are about 100 hydropower sites on which hydroelectricity can be generated.
“Rather than depend on Amaila we can focus on half a dozen sites. Amaila is very expensive and I don’t think that the expectation that we bring down the cost of electricity would be fulfilled.”
In addition to hydroelectricity, the Head of State said that there are other forms of renewable energy in a number of places which can be exploited.
“You know, places like the Rupununi and the Berbice Savannahs, these are huge grasslands with very high levels of sunlight, we are looking at wind along the coast, and we feel that these other forms of energy should be put into the mix, and this is the advice which we have given to Norway.”
He added that the carbon credits which were generated under the agreement with Norway and Guyana should not be pinned down for a single project.
Granger was then asked if he believes that having a reliable source of sustainable energy would help to boost investment. He said that this is a definite outcome.
“Our green strategy is not only to have a reduced carbon footprint, but to provide employment, to boost the economy, and it is also to boost manufacturing and production…so yes, we would like to see more investments.”
To advance the government’s efforts at creating a green state, Granger said that his government has invited colleagues from sister Caribbean states, some of whom are advanced in manufacturing particularly in power generation.
Further, he said that Guyanese are now beginning to understand the message his government has been propagating since getting into office. His evidence of this is the fact that at many of the opening ceremonies he has been invited to, the Chief Executive Officer of the entity always boasts about having incorporated a ‘green’ initiative into the business.
“People are proud of using energy savers, or using solar power, and this is the dynamic people are going towards. The future of Guyana is green.”
After the report on the project had been published, the Ministry of the Presidency had said that the review of the project was of utmost importance, as it provides undisputable evidence that under the current configuration, the project does not meet minimum requirements to ensure viability and longevity.
Resulting from these observations, provisions have been made to expand the scope of clean, alternative energy in the country. These considerations relate to the establishment of programmes to promote energy efficiency at a household level for financial savings to householders; budgetary allocations of almost $1B dollars for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects; the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on the rooftops of 64 Government buildings and the installation of a large scale solar farm in Mabaruma, with smaller solar farms in Lethem, Mahdia and Bartica.

It is Amaila or economic regression Mita Sharma, oops Granger.  How do we power the economic expansion?  With Warsilla Generators.  Dotishness of the highest order.

It is now 2 years and he still pursuing?  This is carrot for the blind fools.  But not I, I can see that they have no plan to deliver on their promises.  This term is all about the pensions and the Patteson Mansions and setting for the RIG and the FRIG so that they can bleed the oil money, so that can provide more dough for their SONNYs and HONEYS.

But nothing for the people.

Whoever told you that it is too far away is talking nonsense. They pumping gas into containers on ships and then take it ashore in many parts of the world where gas is extracted from the sea. And in the North Sea they run gas pipes along the sea bed to places like Norway and Scotland.

What kind of economic expansion are you hoping to achieve with Amalia? So far nobody has spelled out what exactly all that electricity is for and who is going to take it on an industrial scale. And what kind of industries are we talking about? It is all talk but no business owners coming forward to say why they need Amalia. It is just a PPP scam to cream off some of the money.
