There has been much commentary on the renewal of the contract between the Guyana Power and Light Inc. and UCC JV with Karpowership.
I would like to assure the public that the Government of Guyana is working in the best interests of the people of Guyana to get the best possible commercial rate for the renewal of the contract.
I want to reassure the population that no power outage is occurring due to a lack of power generation.
Rather, there may be power outages due to maintenance of the power grid and interruptions caused by private contractors.
We continue to be in the negotiation process, while the powership maintains an uninterrupted supply of electricity to the national grid.
The public will be apprised at the appropriate time on the completion of the contractual negotiations between the Guyana Power and Light Inc. and UCC JV with Karpowership.
