LNDCH4 Guyana today announced the arrival of two advanced gas turbines from Sweden, marking a key moment for this country’s huge Gas-to-Energy project which promises a 50% cut in energy bills.
A release from the company said that these gas turbines, which will be at the heart of the Combined Cycle Power Plant generating 300 Megawatts (MW) of electricity, are set to be installed at the project’s Gas-to-Energy site in Wales, West Bank Demerara.
Humberto Lopez, Country Manager for LNDCH4 Guyana, provided an overview, stating, “The arrival of these cutting-edge turbines marks a crucial milestone in realizing Guyana’s energy ambitions. Once operational, they will not only expand the country’s power generation capacity but also provide an efficient and environmentally friendly energy source for decades to come.”
Lopez further emphasized in the release the strategic importance of the turbines, which will power the Combined Cycle Plant and Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) Plant, both currently under construction at the Gas-to-Energy site. These turbines will also use the associated gas from offshore oil wells.
“As construction progresses, LNDCH4 Guyana remains committed to engaging local communities, creating job opportunities, and ensuring that this landmark project delivers tangible benefits to the people of Guyana”, the release said.
