GPL offers Mash vendors prepaid service

Feb 19, 2014 News

Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) is inviting all persons desirous of using temporary electricity supply for the purposes of Mash celebrations to contact the company’s Commercial Office to prepay for this service.
“As a corporate citizen, GPL is extremely proud of our country’s achievement and looks forward to providing legal connections to vendors and other persons, who may desire a supply of electricity for this period of festivities,” the power company stated.
“As we join all Guyanese in preparation for one of the largest national festivals, all arrangements are in place to meet the demands of customers, including technical support during the large float parade along the routes of Georgetown, the Capital City.”
According to GPL, persons, especially vendors along the parade route, who are desirous of temporary electricity services, especially Mashramani day, can visit GPL’s Commercial Office at 40 Main Street, Georgetown and prepay for this service. They would need to provide a copy of proof of identification and Certificate of Inspection issued by the Government Electrical Inspectorate
The cost of the service will be determined by the electrical appliances (freezer, sound system, microwave oven etc) indicated by the vendor for intended use.
Prepaying for temporary service will allow the Power Company to generate the electricity demand for the period.  However, GPL noted that persons found guilty of unauthorized electricity supply during the festivities will be prosecuted.
Interested persons would need to apply for their service on or before Friday, February 21, 2014, during normal business hours. They can contact Commercial Call Centre on 226-2606, between the hours of 08:00 and 16:00 hrs Mondays to Thursday and 08.00 to 15:30hrs on Fridays.
