FAQS about Guyana s new grid energy storage

Which hydropower projects are being implemented in Guyana?

Guyana is currently implementing three small hydropower projects: a 150kW in Kato, the rehabilitation of Moco-Moco hydropower site, which would increase the capacity up to 0.7MW and a new 1.5MW hydropower plant in Kumu. Moco-Moco and Kumu hydropower projects will provide energy to Lethem grid.

Can hydropower provide Guyana with utility-scale and small-scale capacity?

Hydropower has the potential to provide Guyana with both utility-scale and small-scale capacity. Small-scale is discussed under “Isolated Grids” below. Guyana has a potential for 8.5 Gigawatt (GW) of hydropower on 33 hydropower plants (including storage capacity and run-of-river).

What resources are available in Guyana?

In Guyana, solar energy, wind and hydropower are good complementary resources. Solar energy is available during daylight hours, peaking at noon, while wind is stronger during evening hours and at nights. Wind is lower during the wet seasons, while hydropower is fully available.

What is a small-scale hydropower project in Guyana?

Small-scale is discussed under “Isolated Grids” below. Guyana has a potential for 8.5 Gigawatt (GW) of hydropower on 33 hydropower plants (including storage capacity and run-of-river). It is anticipated that Guyana will build two hydro plants over the next 20 years: Amaila Falls and another which is still to be identified.

What is a Bess & how will it impact Guyana?

The arrival of the BESS follows the earlier delivery of two gas turbines, each capable of generating 45 megawatts of electricity. Together, these components are expected to enhance the reliability of Guyana’s national grid, reduce carbon emissions, and support the delivery of more affordable electricity.
