Govt. to start national meetings on Mazaruni hydro-electric project

Mar 09, 2014 News

Government is set to commence briefing stakeholders on the pre-feasibility and feasibility studies that are required to be undertaken for the development of a hydropower in the Middle and Upper Mazaruni, Region Seven.
Presidential Advisor on Governance Gail Teixeira, at a post-Cabinet briefing on Friday at the Office of the President, said that Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, and their technical team will on March 19 commence the national stakeholders briefing on the development of the hydropower.
The project is among four being pursued by way of the Guyana-Brazil Cooperation agreement, under which a Memorandum of Understanding on Infrastructure Development was signed between the Guyana and Brazil on December 5, 2013.
According to a Government statement, the MOU is aimed at stimulating projects in the area of hydropower, road development and the construction of a deep water port.
A Guyana-Brazil Joint Technical Group was established with a mandate to produce proposals for concrete actions, as well as timetables for the implementation of these four projects, and to present these to the Presidents of both states.
The report, submitted to the Presidents on July 2013, recommended that pre-feasibility and feasibility studies be carried out at two sites in the Middle and Upper Mazaruni in order to make a final determination on the way forward with respect to hydropower development.
