Guyana has taken a significant step forward in its renewable energy initiatives with the commissioning of a 5 megawatt peak (MWp) solar farm in Onderneeming, Essequibo Coast. The project, part of a broader utility-scale solar program, is expected to generate approximately 7,700 megawatt hours (MWh) annually, saving an estimated GY$447 million in fossil fuel costs and reducing carbon emissions by 6,000 tonnes each year. Prime Minister Mark Phillips emphasized the project’s importance during the commissioning ceremony, highlighting its role in boosting the region’s power capacity from 16 MW to 22.5 MW, thereby enhancing energy reliability for households, schools, health facilities, and businesses. The solar farm, developed at a cost of US$10.4 million, is financed through revenues from the Guyana–Norway partnership under the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS). This initiative also includes the construction of a 3 MW solar farm in Charity, which, combined with the Onderneeming facility, will produce 12,300 MWh annually, meeting over 20% of the projected 2026 energy demand. The broader Guyana Utility-Scale Solar Photovoltaic (Guysol) program, valued at US$83.8 million, aims to deliver 33 MW of solar capacity and 34 MWh of battery storage across multiple regions. Additional projects in Berbice and Linden are underway, further solidifying Guyana’s commitment to sustainable energy development.
