Hinterland power station operators complete training
After undergoing four weeks of training, 30 H interland power station operators have graduated from specialized courses.
The graduation ceremony was held last Friday at the Guyana Power and Light (GPL), Sophia branch.
According to a Government report on the training, it focused on identifying and understanding the major components of a diesel engine, parts of a generator and describing the relationship of associated equipment to the generating unit.

Prime Minister and GPL.
The training which commenced on September 2, and concluded on Friday, attracted operators from Mahdia, Lethem, Orealla-Siparuta, St. Cuthbert’s Mission, Moraikobai, Port Kaituma, Kwakwani, Mabaruma and Matthews Ridge.
GPL’s Training Manager, Dennis Swan, noted that this was only the first phase of the training as the second will be conducted in the participants’ respective communities. That phase should commence within another three to four months. He added that in November, a similar training programme will commence for network operators residing in the same communities.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GPL, Bharrat Dindyal, pointed out that there have been reports of major operation failures in these areas due to the lack of experience, hence, the need for the training sessions.
GPL is aiming to support similar training interventions and urged operators to return to their communities and contribute to it by demonstrating what they have learnt and implementing it in their work places.
Prime Minster Samuel Hinds told the batch that this was just the beginning of a still long road ahead. “You have taken your first step on your new journey.”
