The Guyana government has reignited efforts to develop the long-stalled Amaila Falls Hydropower Project, four years after negotiations with a Chinese company collapsed due to financing disagreements. This time, the government has excluded the construction of transmission lines from its Request for Proposals (RFP), focusing solely on the hydropower plant’s development. The project, which includes a 165 MW hydro dam, a 23-square-kilometer storage reservoir, and related infrastructure, is now being pursued under a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) model. The Prime Minister’s Office has set February 17, 2026, as the deadline for submissions, emphasizing that only firms with extensive experience in large-scale hydro projects will be considered. Interested companies must demonstrate prior Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) expertise and provide detailed financial and technical documentation. The government will evaluate proposals based on the lowest Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) price, operational costs, and financing capabilities. This renewed effort follows the 2021 collapse of negotiations with China Railway First Group, which had placed the project on hold. The latest RFP also allows for potential upgrades to turbine technology, enabling the plant to generate more than 165 MW. Independent supervision will ensure compliance with design and construction standards. The project, initially proposed in 2015, aims to reduce Guyana’s reliance on fossil fuels and has been endorsed by Norwegian experts as a sustainable energy solution.
