DURING the period February 27 to March 12, 2014, the No.1 Wartsila Unit at Anna Regina underwent a rigorous maintenance process.

Cognizant of the power difficulties experienced in Essequibo, GPL pledged its unwavering commitment to those residents to continuously work to provide quality electricity, despite constraints that might be experienced.

GPL’s development plans for Essequibo extends beyond engine overhauls for existing infrastructure. In the latter half of this year, the company is proposing to complete the foundation for a new, four-megawatt, HFO-fired unit at Anna Regina, and that for a new 3 x 2 megawatt HFO-fired power station at Bartica.

Also slated for completion this year is the installation and commissioning of two new 500 kVA generating sets at Leguan, and one new 500 kVA set at Wakenaam, with a view to providing service for 24 hours all seven days of the week.

The Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) would like to applaud the residents living between Onderneeming and Supenaam and Devonshire Castle and Charity, who were supportive while the company executed a successful engine overhaul at its Anna Regina Wartsila Generating plant.
