The Ministry of Public Infrastructure of Guyana is calling for proposals from power producers to develop an electricity generation system from renewable sources which would power a town called Bartica.
According to Stabroek News, Guyana’s daily, the ministry is looking for proposals for the generation system which would use one or more renewable resources, including: tidal, solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, and waste-to-energy.
Bartica, a town located on the left bank of the Essequibo River, has a population of 15,000, with energy consumption needs amounting to 11,760 MW/h annually.
The ministry added the facility should produce minimum of 2,140 MW/h of energy annually, and be up to 1.5 MW in capacity, Stabroek News reports.
