The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) Petroleum Committee, cognisant of the importance of the energy sector to Guyana’s development, on March 13 engaged the Chief Executive Officer of the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) Incorporated, Mr. Kesh Nandlall. Mr. Nandlall made a presentation to members of the GCCI in the Chamber’s boardroom and updated attendees on the company’s plan to provide stable electricity supply, major achievements in customer service, as well as an overview of the progress made on the Gas-to-Energy project.
Senior Vice President and Chairperson of the Petroleum Committee, Mrs. Kathy Smith noted that members of the GCCI are eagerly anticipating improvements to the energy sector that will accompany the operationalisation of the Gas-to-Energy Project as the electricity demand is continuously increasing. “It is a good thing for Guyanese, especially our private sector because it means that we are doing new business in Guyana and we are able to sustain ourselves,” she stated.
President of the Chamber, Mr. Kester Hutson stated that these engagements are important, especially in keeping members informed so that “they can better position themselves as business leaders in this growing economy.” Meanwhile, Councillor and Executive Member, Mr. Richard Rambarran spoke to the benefits of these collaborations in addressing the challenges that members face. “We look forward to continuing a very fruitful working relationship as we move forward,” he stated.
