The Gas-to-Energy project at Wales is moving ahead with visible progress. From foundations now in place to new companies showing interest and plans for an industrial zone taking shape, several key steps are unfolding at the same time.
Here are the latest updates as provided by Guyanese President Irfaan Ali on Sept. 8:
- Phase I, which includes the 300 MW combined cycle plant and NGL facilities being executed by Lindsayca Guyana Inc., saw the first gas turbine foundation poured on Tuesday night, September 9.
- More than 300 people are currently employed on Phase I, with an additional 100 staff set to be engaged within the next 30 days.
- The concrete pouring of the remaining turbine foundations is scheduled to be completed within the next month.
- Phase II, which envisions another 300 MW power plant and NGL facility, has attracted seven submissions now under review.
