Chinese consortium lands US$38mn Guyana solar contract
Guyana Power and Light has awarded work for utility-scale solar capacity and associated battery energy storage program Guysol.
The winner of the 18-month contract was a consortium of Chinese companies Sumec and XJ Group, procurement information shows.
BNamericas previously reported that eight groups had submitted offers in the call for eight plants in three lots and a combined 33MWp. The tender was launched in December 2022.
The joint venture picked up lots two and three to build the infrastructure in the areas of Linden and Essequibo, specifically, five plants for lot two (US$19.3mn) and energy storage for lot three (US$18.6mn). Additional information was not disclosed.
Funds from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation and administered by IDB are being used to finance Guysol, project summaries for which were released by Guyana’s Environmental Protection Agency in November.
Most of the country’s electricity comes from fuel oil-fired power plants with renewables limited to small-scale, off-grid units.
