GPL yesterday accused the local company which had been managing its generators of using cheaper parts which then required early replacement.
The statement from the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) was in response to claims by former Minister of Public Infrastruc-ture David Patterson in a May 4th news item in Kaieteur News and it also lifted a veil over the concerns that Finnish company, Wartsila had been replaced as the generator manager by local company, PPDI.
When it was announced in October, 2018 that Power Producers and Distribution Inc. (PPDI) would be taking over the management of Wartsila generators from the Finnish manufacturers, concerns were raised as to whether the level of service would be maintained.
