PRESIDENT and General Manager of Exxon Mobil Guyana Limited, Alistair Routledge, on Wednesday highlighted that the company in collaboration with the government is mapping out investment strategies as the country inches closer to bringing the landmark gas-to-energy project on stream.
Routledge was at the time speaking on the second day of the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo as local and regional companies presented updates on projects here.

During his presentation, he indicated that the investment strategy could position Guyana as a regional energy hub and boost domestic industries.

To this end, he indicated that at the heart of the vision is the development of a gas-based industrial sector that could power manufacturing, fertiliser production and even data centres.
According to Routledge, while the 300-megawatt power plant and natural gas liquids extraction facility are expected to lower electricity costs, beyond that, a second power generation plant is already on the cards to accommodate increasing demands.
