GPL to expand solar grid at Canal Bank, Port Kaituma
Kaieteur News- The Guyana Power and Light (GPL) is preparing to expand the solar grid at Canal Bank, Port Kaituma, Region One.
The project which does not have an estimated cost was opened at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB). Seven contractors submitted bids for the contract ranging from $22 million to $45 million.
In July 2024, Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips commissioned the solar mini-grid at Canal Bank and another at Sebai Village, the Guyana Energy Agency’s website said.
The Canal Bank grid which valued some $19.2 million comprises a 12-kilowatt solar array and 35 kilowatts of battery power. The agency further reported that the mini-grid systems are set to advance government’s objective of bridging the energy divide in remote and hinterland areas while fostering development and providing renewable energy to the public.
Below are the companies and their bids:
