The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) issue a joint response to media reports alleging that the natural gas pipeline supplying Guyana’s 300 megawatt Gas-to-Energy (GtE) facility at Wales, West Coast Demerara has ruptured. In their statement, both agencies say there is no factual basis for the claim and state “unequivocally” that the pipeline has not ruptured. The agencies also address assertions being circulated in the media, including those attributed to the political opposition, and reject those statements as inaccurate. While the reports in circulation claim the pipeline is damaged due to a rupture, the EPA and MARAD maintain that the situation does not reflect a pipeline rupture at the GtE facility’s supplying line. The joint communication is presented as a clarification meant to correct what the agencies describe as misinformation about the pipeline’s condition. Both sources cite the same joint statement from EPA and MARAD.
