Guyana's landmark Gas-to-Energy project reached a critical milestone with the arrival of a 30-MW backup battery energy storage system (BESS) at Georgetown's John Fernandes Wharf, according to OilNOW.
[pdf] With 87% forest cover and rivers that behave like moody teenagers (unpredictable and full of energy), the country’s hybrid solar-hydro-storage system is like a Swiss Army knife for power generation. Recent data shows their pilot in Lethem reduced diesel usage by 40% in 6 months. Talk about a glow-up!
[pdf] In 2023, Guyana’s hinterland town of Lethem launched a 1.5 MW solar farm paired with a 4 MWh lithium-ion battery. Result? 24/7 power for 3,000 residents—no more diesel generators! This project cut CO2 emissions by 85% and became a blueprint for rural electrification.
