The Government of Guyana adds a new 800 kVA generator to strengthen electricity generation in Kwakwani, Region Ten. Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips announces the development, including that a further increase in capacity is planned.
The announcement is made during a Cabinet Outreach event at Independence Square in Kwakwani, with both outlets citing Kwakwani’s existing generation capacity at about 2.3 MVA. Guyana Chronicle and INews Guyana both report that another 1 MW generator is expected to be added by January 2027, building on the current upgrade.
While the two reports largely align on the main details—an 800 kVA unit now, a 1 MW unit later, and the stated purpose of boosting local capacity—they differ only slightly in phrasing and emphasis, with both attributing the information to the Prime Minister’s remarks.
