LNDCH4 Guyana announced the arrival of two advanced gas turbines from Sweden, marking an important step in Guyana’s Gas-to-Energy project. The turbines will be installed at the project’s site in Wales, West Demerara. They will form the core of a Combined Cycle Power Plant expected to generate 300 Megawatts (MW) of electricity, focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability.

Humberto Lopez, Country Manager for LNDCH4 Guyana, said, “The arrival of these cutting-edge turbines marks a crucial milestone in realizing Guyana’s energy ambitions. Once operational, they will not only expand the country’s power generation capacity but also provide an efficient and environmentally friendly energy source for decades to come.”
The turbines will power both the Combined Cycle Plant and the Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) Plant, which are currently under construction at the Gas-to-Energy site, LNDCH4 Guyana explained.

They are designed to use associated gas from the oil wells, reducing reliance on imported fuels and lowering energy costs. The project also aims to contribute significantly to national efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
ExxonMobil is responsible for building the pipeline to bring the gas from the Liza field in the Stabroek Block to onshore facilities. The company expects to conclude entirely by 2024, but gas is not expected to be transported until the completion of the onshore component in 2025.
