Power Utility Upgrade Program

LACIF and IDB reinforced the safety and reliability of the Guyana Power and Light, Inc. (GPL) electricity distribution system. To do so, this project financed infrastructure specifically focused on the reduction of electricity losses, deployed a strong Corporate Development Program (CDP) to manage GPL’s operations and implement solutions to GPL’s longstanding problems, and improved quality of service through: 

• the rehabilitation of the existing distribution network and associated equipment as part of a strategic loss reduction programme and;
• the strengthening of GPL, contributing to the enhancement of its corporate capacities, which helped achieve the performance targets for GPL.
