Farfan and Mendes has concluded the installation of solar-powered home lighting systems in 12 interior villages and is on schedule to complete installation of similar facilities in six other villages before year end, under a $240M Inter American Develop-ment Bank Project.
Managing Director of Farfan and Mendes Andrew Mendes told Stabroek Business earlier this week that in securing the contract, the company bested competition from outside. Mendes said that the project, which commenced in June this year, was completed in September, well ahead of the schedule agreed under the contract.
New solar-powered systems were install-ed at Sand Creek, Yupukari, Chenapou, Rockstone, Waipa, Sebai, Red Hill, Hobodia,
