The Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) yesterday refuted claims that it was targeting specific communities for the installation of their smart meters and said there were predetermined areas.
In a letter in yesterday’s Stabroek News, Taaj Jadunauth said that a meeting between residents of a certain section of Enmore and a GPL Contractor, together with representatives from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), was scheduled to advise them about the installation of smart meters in the area, but were not told if GPL representatives would also be present.
He noted that as a resident he has a few major concerns that other residents also share. He said that consumers of power have a contractual relationship with GPL and not any contractor or the IDB and that the provision of smart meters is the responsibility of the provider – GPL.
