GPL seeking to speed delivery of 60 MW

The Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) has shortened the delivery time for an additional 60 megawatts (MW) of power it wants so that it can be prepared for increased demand during the cricket and Christmas seasons, Chief Executive Officer Kesh Nandlall says.

“We want to be prepared for an increase in demand and to ensure we have sufficient availability and in the system, not only now but between now and the time the gas to energy project comes into effect.

“We are in preparation for the holidays and CPL and everything else that comes up… we prepare to have more reserves because it is always better to have more than less …,” he said yesterday.
