Amidst heightening public concern over the erratic nature of the electricity supply in coastal Guyana, and relative muted but boisterous protest by domestic consumers and businesses alike, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) announced on Monday that its Petroleum Committee had facilitated a discussion forum on energy supply with head of the Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL), Kesh Nandlall.
Nandlall, the GCCI’s Petroleum Committee, through its release, made no comment on the power company’s schedule for restoring the power situation to a circumstance that at least bears a resemblance of normalcy. The discussions, which convened on Monday, April 22, featured an interactive discussion between Nandlall and other officials from the power company, purportedly afforded the Chamber “an opportunity to learn more about GPL’s plans for the future given how the frequent power outages have been affecting the private sector’s ability to operate efficiently and at maximum capacity.”
