The Guyana Power and Light (GPL) yesterday insisted that its procurement process for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) is fully compliant with the law.
In a statement, GPL was responding to a letter by Edward Burrowes in yesterday’s Stabroek News which alleged that the barge that capsized off of Tobago and caused environmental damage was illegally transporting oil from Venezuela to Guyana in violation of American sanctions. The letter writer alleged that only the privileged are allowed to sell fuel to GPL.
