The company, under its agreement with the Guyana Power & Light Inc. (GPL), is supporting the modernisation of the country’s electricity sector through the supervision of infrastructure, project management, the optimisation of the power plant, asset life management and the development of the Smart Grid through 2030. The aim is to aid in creating a modern electricity system which has the capacity to support Guyana’s long- term economic and social development.

InterEnergy to date has been providing supervision for the development and the construction of key electricity infrastructure projects. They include over 350km of transmission lines, 16 new or expanded substations and the deployment of 20,000 smart meters.

“These investments are helping strengthen the reliability, resilience and modernization of Guyana’s electricity system. The partnership also includes the development of a Smart Grid roadmap through 2030 to support the modernization of Guyana’s electricity system through advanced technologies, renewable energy integration and battery storage,” the company added.

Further, the company highlighted how its wider regional platform will be able to support the long-term energy ambitions of the country. InterEnergy also reminded that it brings proven experience from operating in one of Latin America’s most advanced smart grids through CEPM in the Dominican Republic. This is complemented by its capabilities in power generation, battery energy storage systems, digital utility platforms serving more than five million users, and electric mobility infrastructure through Evergo. The company assured that these capabilities position it to support Guyana’s evolving energy needs.

“The countries that prosper in the decades ahead will be those that build the infrastructure to match their ambitions. Guyana has that opportunity today. No country can build tomorrow on an electricity system designed for yesterday. Guyana has a unique opportunity to build a modern, resilient and intelligent energy system capable of supporting the next generation of growth,” said Rolando González Bunster, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of InterEnergy Group.

He continued: “At InterEnergy, we are honoured to support GPL and the Government of Guyana in that journey, bringing technical expertise, accelerating execution, strengthening local capabilities and helping create a stronger system for future generations.”
