Guyana -Renewable Energy
While Guyana''s geographic location makes offshore wind a viable alternative, current regulatory hurdles are likely to stymie investment in this technology. Solar power
Hydro will also provide, in the long-term, a cheaper solution than any other technology, due to its long lifespan. In Guyana, solar energy, wind and hydropower are good complementary resources. Solar energy is available during daylight hours, peaking at noon, while wind is stronger during evening hours and at nights.
In Guyana, solar energy is used for several purposes, including drying agricultural produce, irrigation, ICT, and to improve electricity access in rural areas. Under the Hinterland Electrification Programme, in excess of 19,000 solar PV systems had been installed in nearly 200 communities by 2018.
The Guyana Energy Agency is responsible for overseeing feasibility studies for the integration of renewable energy programs in Guyana and has regulatory oversight over certain aspects of the energy industry, in addition to the Ministry of Public Works.
Guyana's geographic location makes offshore wind a viable alternative for renewable energy production. However, current regulatory hurdles are likely to stymie investment in this technology in Guyana.
