GPL yesterday said that the power ship moored off of Everton in the Berbice River is supplying 18 MW to the electricity grid and will incrementally move to 36 MW during the coming week.
In a deal brokered by a Qatari company, the ship arrived from Cuba last week and the hook-up to the Demerara-Berbice Interconnected System (DBIS) was done over the last few days.
Faced with a shortfall in power generation, the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) scrambled to find power urgently even after hooking up second-hand generators that arrived from Honduras last year.
