What happened
Power blackouts are occurring on the East Coast of Demerara, linked to construction projects under the Guyana Power and Light (GPL). These projects, which involve five new substations and hundreds of kilometres of transmission lines, are valued at US$422 million (GYD$90 billion). The Opposition Leader stated that the projects have fallen significantly behind schedule.
Why it matters
The project failures are causing blackouts in the region. The government is under pressure regarding the delays and must seek renewed funding from Parliament to move forward with the critical infrastructure projects.
