The government is currently developing a Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) programme that will allow Guyana Power and Light (GPL) customers with renewable energy systems of up to 1.5 mega-watts (MW) to supply the 13.8 kV distribution networks.
A FIT programme is a policy mechanism designed to promote the uptake of renewable and low-carbon electricity generation.
The government’s plan was disclosed in an IDB’s request for Expressions of Interest (EoI) for a consultancy to determine the renewable energy hosting capacity limits in the GPL distribution system as well as to develop a distribution code for Guyana.
