The Gas-to-Energy project moved closer to fruition yesterday with the signing of a US$8.6 million contract between the Govern-ment of Guyana and Chinese company, Power China, to construct a building to house the National Control Centre, a Depart-ment of Public Information (DPI) release stated yesterday.
Power China was one of the bidders among three others shortlisted during the open tender process.
The building will be constructed at Beterver-wagting along the East Coast of Demerara with the project having a 13-month duration.
During the signing ceremony yesterday in the boardroom of the Office of the Prime Minister at Camp Street, Georgetown, Prime Minister Mark Phillips noted the role the building will play in the delivery of power from the Gas-to-Energy project.
