In keeping with government’s commitment to develop 100 percent renewable energy by 2025, Finance Minister Winston Jordan on Monday informed that a comprehensive energy mix is being actively considered.
In addressing government’s plan for the energy sector during his 2018 National Budget presentation, he stated that government continues to explore its options for realising substantial conversion to renewable sources by 2025. Guyana has made a commitment in this regard under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), he said.
“This Government intends to honour this commitment to our people and the world. We have, and will continue to prioritise interventions in solar, hydropower and other renewable sources, as well as energy efficient technologies”, he said adding that this commitment is also expected to be restated in the government’s Green State Development Strategy.
