Guyana Power and Light (GPL) will, for the first time, be undertaking a mega project to improve electricity transmission and distribution by integrating all its operating systems in Demerara and Berbice into one network.The Guyana Government has been given a US$39.6M boost from the Chinese Exim Bank that will be invested by GPL in the interconnection initiative.Efforts in this direction are already being realised with the construction of the power plant at Kingston, which consists of three of the latest Wartsila engines. This station is expected to go into operation within another three months.With the new system in place, coupled with the use of Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), the power company is expected to increase its generation capacity by 20 megawatts and substantially reduce the cost of operations at the same time.Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GPL,Cheap NBA Jerseys China, Bharrat Dindyal, said after the new station becomes operational,Jerseys NFL Cheap, the services of the old plant, which is responsible for the 50-hertz distribution for Georgetown, would be discontinued.The Kingston plant coupled with another new facility to be constructed in South Georgetown will allow the power company to standardize the frequency in Georgetown and simultaneously offload large feeders supplying the eastern section of Georgetown.On the East Coast of Demerara,Stitched Jerseys, which has seen a substantial population growth over the last 30 years, GPL proposes to add two new substations, one on the lower East Coast Demerara and the other in Mahaica.The Kingston Plant will be interconnected to the 69 Kilovolt (KV) substation at Sophia using transmission lines that will run via the Lamaha railway embankment.
