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.

Enriquez Challenges JLSC After Complaint Dismissal
In a recent development, social activist Jeremy Enriquez has announced his intention to challenge the Judicial and Legal Services Commission (JLSC) after it dismissed his complaint against Justice Tawanda Hondora. The complaint, filed earlier this year, alleged misconduct by Justice Hondora in an injunction case. Enriquez expressed frustration over the lack of transparency in the investigation process, stating that the JLSC failed to communicate the steps being taken or involve him in the proceedings. After months of waiting, Enriquez sought a judicial review, only to receive a letter from the JLSC stating that the complaint did not meet the threshold for further investigation. Surprised and dissatisfied with the outcome, Enriquez has vowed to appeal the decision in court, reigniting a legal battle that underscores broader concerns about accountability within the judicial system.

Feinstein’s Fraud Case Over Stake Bank Hits Pause
The high-profile fraud case involving developer Michael Feinstein and the contentious Stake Bank project has been postponed, marking another twist in a legal saga that has captivated Belize. Scheduled to commence in the High Court on October 29, 2025, the proceedings were abruptly delayed as Feinstein’s British legal team sought a stay to appeal a prior decision barring the submission of new evidence. Justice Susan Goonetilleke adjourned the case pending a ruling from the Court of Appeal on the matter.
The dispute traces back to April 2024, when Atlantic Bank Limited accused Feinstein and Stake Bank Enterprises of fraud, alleging that $62 million in financing for a cruise port development was misused. The bank claims Feinstein unlawfully transferred a 23.5-acre island extension to his personal name rather than the company’s. Outside the courtroom, Feinstein lashed out at his adversaries, labeling them “banksters” and accusing financial institutions and government officials of conspiring to seize control of the multimillion-dollar project.
Adding to the controversy, the Government of Belize recently moved to compulsorily acquire 23.4 acres of Stake Bank Island, a decision Feinstein’s group has denounced as unlawful and lacking public interest, particularly given the presence of other port facilities like the Port of Belize. This latest delay prolongs a legal battle that continues to raise questions about transparency, accountability, and the future of the Stake Bank development.

GCAA denies downgrading CJIA’s rescue and fire-fighting capacity, refuses to discuss findings; Demerara Waves stands by article
The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has firmly denied allegations of downgrading the Cheddi Jagan International Airport’s (CJIA) rescue and fire-fighting capacity, refuting claims made in a recent report by Demerara Waves Online News. The GCAA stated that it does not disclose or discuss inspection findings with third parties, emphasizing that no official documents have been signed to indicate a downgrade from category 8 to category 5. However, Demerara Waves stands by its report, asserting that the airport’s fire-fighting capacity was indeed reduced following inspections in September 2025. The news outlet cited sources claiming that mechanical defects in firefighting appliances, such as air leaks and slow response times, led to the downgrade. Despite the controversy, the GCAA assured the public that CJIA continues to operate safely and efficiently, maintaining its commitment to aviation safety standards. Meanwhile, Fire Chief Gregory Wickham confirmed that remedial actions have been taken, including deploying additional firefighters and addressing mechanical issues. Minister of Home Affairs Oneidge Walrond also highlighted efforts to ensure the operational readiness of the Timehri Fire Station, which supports CJIA. The conflicting reports have sparked debate over the transparency and accuracy of information regarding the airport’s safety protocols.
