Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) is preparing plans for three utility-scale solar PV farms totaling 30 MW for the national grid in the long term, as well as a 0.75 MW Solar PV Farm at Wakenaam and a 4 MW Solar PV Farm at Onverwagt in the near future.
Most locations across Guyana have excellent solar insolation levels and are ideal for solar PV generation. As of 2018, the total installed capacity for Solar PV in Guyana is 4.63 MW, with an estimated annual generation of 7.16 GWh.
In Guyana, solar energy is used for several purposes, such as drying agricultural produce and irrigation, ICT, and to improve electricity access in rural areas. Under the Hinterland Electrification Programme, over 19,000 solar PV systems had been installed in nearly 200 communities by 2018.
In Guyana, 1.184 MW of solar PV systems will be installed at 80 public buildings in all 10 Administrative Regions in 2019.
The Energy sector in Guyana is poised for significant transformation due to the country's commitment to developing its indigenous renewable energy resources and pursuing 100% renewable energy in electricity generation as part of its Green State Development Strategy.
Currently, imported petroleum-based fuels are the main source of energy in Guyana.
