GPL wishes to advise its valued consumers that works associated with the 15.6MW expansion of the new Kingston Power Plant are on track. On March 11th factory tests for the two 7.8MW generators were successfully completed and these Units are now being prepared for their sea voyage. They are expected in Guyana in May. Foundation works, which are being undertaken by GPL have been progressing smoothly. The Contractor, Correia & Correia has completed the radiator foundations and is currently working on the two engine foundations. It is expected that the foundation works will be completed by the end of April, in time for the arrival of the engines in May.
