Kaieteur News- The Guyana Power and Light (GPL) is preparing to expand the solar grid at Canal Bank, Port Kaituma, Region One.
The project which does not have an estimated cost was opened at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB). Seven contractors submitted bids for the contract ranging from $22 million to $45 million.

The agency further reported that the mini-grid systems are set to advance government’s objective of bridging the energy divide in remote and hinterland areas while fostering development and providing renewable energy to the public.
