As part of Guyana’s expanding Gas-to-Energy project, ten groups have submitted proposals to the government for the design, construction, and operation of a cooking gas bottling and logistics facility planned for Wales, West Bank Demerara.
In October 2025, the Office of the President (OPM) invited proposals under a public-private partnership (PPP) model for a company to design, engineer, construct and operate the assets required to bottle, transport and distribute cooking gas domestically.
According to information released by the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB), proposals were submitted by the following groups:
- Lindsayca Inc
- Divyan International Inc
- Gas Zipa SASESP, Fix It Depot and Standard Energy Company
- Gate Ventures and Consulting Guyana Inc., in consortium with Propak Systems Limited and Makeen Energy
- Massy Gas Products
- Sol Guyana Inc, Gaico Construction & General Services Inc
- Rubis Guyana Inc.
- Guygas and Makeen Energy and Ramco Industries
- ILF Consulting Engineering Inc. India in collaboration with MAHAPREIT (Mahatma Phule Renewable and Infrastructure Technology Limited)
- BB Energy and Dec Ogeco
The proposed facility is intended to support a reduction in domestic cooking gas prices. Annual domestic demand for cooking gas is estimated at three million 20-pound cylinders, representing a retail market valued at roughly GY$14 billion (approximately US$67 million) per year.
The project is planned for east of the site where the combined-cycle power plant and natural gas liquids (NGL) facility are being built for the first phase of the Gas-to-Energy project in Wales.
Under the plan, the bottling operation would receive lean gas from Guyana Power and Gas Inc. (GPGI), a government-owned company that will manage the onshore gas infrastructure at wholesale prices.
