Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson, today, disclosed that Norway has approved the transferal of $16Billion through its Climate Mitigating Ministry, which will finance the construction of 30 megawatts of solar photovoltaic farms with storage.

The announcement follows the installation of the new Board of Directors of the Guyana Power and Light Incorporated (GPL). The Public Infrastructure Minister explained that the operationalising of these farms would provide the power company with a significant boost.

In addition, funding has been approved by the United Arab Emirates, which will be used to transform the island of Wakenaam into one of the country’s first, “truly green off grid centres”.

In July 2018, the then Minister of State, Joseph Harmon announced that Guyana is set to benefit from close to $27Billion following fruitful talks in Oslo, Norway.

Impressed with the government’s 2025 energy-mix proposal, the country’s deforestation rate of 0.05 – one of the lowest and the role President David Granger has been playing in championing sustainable development, Norway unlocked billions of dollars under the Norway Forest Agreement.

The government said the money would be directed towards intensified efforts to achieving 100 per cent renewable energy use, which includes the construction of solar farms totalling 100 megawatts.

These farms will be located in Bartica, Lethem, Mabaruma, Mahdia and several interior locations.

Yonnette Cummings Edwards is a PNC mouthpiece.  She has lost all credibility.  She should be disbarred and prevented from ever practicing law again.

Which authority can do that ?

Norway needs to take the money and hire Norwegian companies to build the solar farms in Guyana instead of giving Guyana the money to build the solar farms because that money will just disappear like magic.

The money will be squandered and disappear into thin air.  PNC has never built anything.  They just don’t know how.

And Base, you are so god damn right. Can you tell us why you support our stable genius moron president who said "we are going to the moon not because it's easy, but because it's Mars"? Can you tell us why you support this lying moron who promised to drain the swamp and he has his shady son in law getting more than 90 million dollars investment help with his business? Can you tell why you support this lying idiot who allows McConnell 's wife Elaine Cho to have a shady shipping deal and she has ties to China?
