Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) begins integrating the workforce of Skeldon Energy Inc. (SEI) following GPL’s acquisition of the company. GPL says no jobs will be lost as it moves to incorporate SEI’s employees into its wider operations. In visits to the SEI facility and power plant, GPL officials provide assurances about continuity of employment.
The acquisition is presented as part of broader government efforts to consolidate operations in Guyana’s energy sector and improve cost efficiencies. One report notes that Cabinet approval was granted for GPL to acquire SEI, while coverage also highlights that the integration process includes training and professional development opportunities for SEI staff. While outlets focus on the employment assurances and the integration plan, they differ slightly on the workforce figures mentioned, with one source referring to 49 employees and another to a higher total, and both describe the acquisition as an administrative and operational consolidation step.
