(Kaieteur News) – The Government of Guyana (GoG) has reportedly commenced talks with a Turkish power company for a large vessel to provide additional electricity to the national grid, as concerns grow over the startup of the Gas-to-Energy (GTE) project by year-end, as promised by contractor Lindsayca.
Multiple sources have confirmed that the administration is preparing to bypass national procurement laws to secure a third powership, which would be the largest ever rented by the country.
The nation currently rents two vessels from Karpowership – a 36-megawatt (MW) facility docked in the Berbice River and a 60MW vessel stationed in the Demerara River.
