Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) is preparing plans for three utility-scale solar PV farms totaling 30 MW for the national grid in the long term, as well as a 0.75 MW Solar PV Farm at Wakenaam and a 4 MW Solar PV Farm at Onverwagt in the near future.
Hydropower has the potential to provide Guyana with both utility-scale and small-scale capacity. Small-scale is discussed under “Isolated Grids” below. Guyana has a potential for 8.5 Gigawatt (GW) of hydropower on 33 hydropower plants (including storage capacity and run-of-river).
Guyana is currently implementing three small hydropower projects: a 150kW in Kato, the rehabilitation of Moco-Moco hydropower site, which would increase the capacity up to 0.7MW and a new 1.5MW hydropower plant in Kumu. Moco-Moco and Kumu hydropower projects will provide energy to Lethem grid.
Currently, imported petroleum-based fuels are the main source of energy in Guyana.
