Cheaper electricity imminent - as Cabinet grants approval for construction of 300-megawatt power plant at Wales By Shamar Meusa PRESIDENT, Dr. Irfaan Ali, on Thursday, announced that Cabinet has given its no objection to CH/4Lindsayca for the construction of a 300-megawatt gas-to-power plant at Wales, West Bank Demerara.
The Head of State made this announcement via a live-streamed video message following a Cabinet meeting on Thursday afternoon. He related that CH4/ Lindsayca was ranked number one to construct the 300 MW combined cycle power plant and natural gas liquids (NGL) plant at Wales.
Dr. Ali went on to say that Cabinet’s no objection paves the way for negotiations to proceed to conclude an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract (EPC) contract. Should the negotiations fail to conclude a contract by the end of November, he added that Power China might be
engaged. Some nine firms were, earlier this year, prequalified to bid on the EPC contract and a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued to the prequalified bidders. At the closing date of September 13, some five bids were received.
