With time running out, the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) yesterday said it is hustling to connect 60 megawatts to the national grid from a power ship moored in the Demerara River.

Kesh Nandlall, acting CEO of Guyana Power and Light (GPL), spoke to Stabroek News (SN) yesterday, providing an update on the company’s ongoing efforts to connect the second power ship to the national grid. Nandlall said that GPL is making final preparations to complete the connection before Christmas, with testing scheduled for yesterday afternoon and last night.

“We are completing the connections today and testing, we’re doing the testing today and tonight, so we are hoping, as we promised, we will connect before Christmas…the Prime Minister was here this morning and had a walkthrough,” Nandlall said.
