President Dr. Irfaan Ali conducted an early morning inspection of the ongoing construction of the Wharf in Wales, West Bank Demerara.
The wharf, crucial for supporting the Gas-to-Energy project, has reached an impressive 80 percent completion rate.
During his visit, the Head of State also assessed the site earmarked for the gas-to-energy plant.
He received updates on the foundational work, including extensive sand filling, which precedes the commencement of the plant’s actual construction.
Emphasizing the significance of the Gas-to-Energy project, President Ali urged the contractors to capitalize on the favorable weather conditions and stressed the importance of completing the project on schedule.
The government awarded a contract worth 759 million US dollars to LINDSAYCA/CH4 for the integrated Natural Gas Liquids Plant and the 300-megawatt combined-cycle gas turbine power plant in Wales.
This power plant, anticipated to deliver 250 megawatts of electricity, will serve approximately 220,000 households connected to the grid.
