Solar power generation via photovoltaic (PV) farms is leading the way in the government’s multi-pronged efforts to reduce greenhouse emissions and transition Guyana to sustainable sources of alternative energy.
Guyana’s latest installation of solar power grids across the country has resulted in the reduction of some 3,542 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, Head of Guyana Energy Agency Dr Mahendra Sharma says.
Since the renewable power integration roll out, Sharma explained, more than 8 Megawatts (MW) of grid-connected and off-grid solar installations have been completed at 442 locations across the country.
