Guyana’s solar capacity is set to receive a significant boost with the signing of a US$38 million contract between the Guyana Utility-Scale Solar Photovoltaic (GUYSOL) and a Chinese company, SUMEC to construct solar farms in Regions Two, Five and Six.
The projects are being funded through the Guyana REDD+ Investment Fund established by the government and managed by the Inter-American Develop-ment Bank (IDB).
The signing ceremony was held in the boardroom of the Office of the Prime Minister on Camp Street, a release from the Depart-ment of Public Information (DPI) said.
