-utility has up to end of Q1 next year
President Irfaan Ali has warned that if there is no marked improvement in the Guyana Power and Light’s (GPL) delivery of services to customers by the end of the first quarter of next year, its management will face reprimand.
And while government believes that the PPP/C inherited a shoddy distribution network from the APNU+AFC, enough investments have been made since 2020 to see the marked improvements it wants, Ali reasoned.
“I said before with GPL, that we inherited in 2020, a scenario where no investments were made on the transmission and distribution line. So you can see the work going on now to bring that heavy-duty transmission line and interlink it with the control centre, so that the power can be, can be taken off safely and reliably from the ship and distributed throughout the system,” Ali said.
