The Guyana government is seeking to acquire an additional 30 megawatts of electricity to support generation efforts as work continues to connect the powership from Karpowership International to supply 36 megawatts of electricity to the national grid.
Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo says the additional supply will also help supplement the heightened demand until the Gas to Energy project comes on stream in 2025.
The Guyana Power and Light Company has paid a mobilisation fee of one million dollars to rent the 36-megawatt powership from the Turkish company.
The company has also confirmed that it will pay US$6.62 per kilowatt hour as a monthly charter fee for the powership and a maintenance fee of S$0.98 per kilowatt hour based on the electricity generated.
