A firebomb attack is reported at Guyana Power and Light’s (GPL) Good Hope substation on the East Coast of Demerara, with CCTV footage showing two people and one allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail into an energised substation switchyard. The private sector condemns the sabotage attempt, and police are investigating the incident.
GPL says it is asking the Guyana Police Force to treat the incident as possible terrorism against critical national infrastructure. One outlet frames the attack more explicitly as an act that could threaten the power grid and disrupt electricity supply to customers, while another emphasises GPL’s request for a terrorism investigation. INews Guyana also publishes the utility company’s full statement condemning the actions.
In parallel coverage, a separate report describes police investigating an alleged arson attempt linked to the same Good Hope facility, after a fire was reportedly spotted near the main transmission line area. Across sources, the incident is consistently connected to GPL’s Good Hope infrastructure and relies on CCTV and security observations to describe what happened.
