Amaila Falls dries up – new doubts about feasability
OCTOBER 11, 2013 | BY
KNEWS |
The Amaila Falls which was intended to supply the nation with 165 megawatts of electricity and save Guyana millions of US dollars is bone dry.
Yesterday, Works Minister Robeson Benn, said that it is not unusual for waterfalls used to provide hydroelectricity to run dry. He pointed to power stations in Suriname and in Brazil.

This unprecedented multinational, multi-sectoral, and multi-disciplinary initiative’s main objective, as the name suggests, was to develop the region’s infrastructure. Continue reading →

Every major contract for constant review – there is no gag order on ministers – Ramotar
JANUARY 14, 2012 | BY

NEWS 
President Donald Ramotar yesterday committed his government to a “constant review” of massive
infrastructure projects that the government is set to undertake.
“All of these are going to be under constant review,” Ramotar said at a press conference at his New Garden Street, Georgetown Office.
The head of state said that large projects are not static. Rather, they are dynamic and need to be examined all the time.
The Amaila Falls Hydro Project, the extension of the runway at the Cheddi Jagan international airport, and the construction of a Marriott-branded hotel, are among major projects he intends to pursue. read more
