The deadline for the report on a review of the financial model of the Amaila Falls Hydropower Project (AFHP) has been extended as Norconsult, the Norwegian company contracted to undertake the task, has asked government for more time.
“We have been advised by Norway last week that the report’s submission is a bit delayed and the review team is working to have it completed as a matter of urgency and within the next few weeks,” Minister of Natural Resources Raphael Trotman said in response to queries from Stabroek News.
“No reason was given for the delay but the Ministry of Climate and Environment of Norway has requested an extension for the completion of the process by Norconsult and we have given our no objection,” he added.
