The Guyana Power and Light is inviting bids for the construction of an 11 MW plant at Anna Regina on the Essequibo Coast and one for 5.5 MW at Canefield on the East Berbice.
Both areas have experienced power supply problems in recent years because of faulty generators. Anna Regina was recently affected by load shedding after one of its generators developed problems.

In relation to the Anna Regina plant, the advertisement said that bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting to be held over two days – July 27th-28th – in Georgetown and at Anna Regina. Bids have to be submitted by September 20th, 2016.
