CEO Guyana Power and Light Inc.
We are fortunate to be witnessing the greatest
expansion in the history of the GPL on this our
fourteenth (14) anniversary, an expansion that would,
in many ways, define the future of the Company. Over
US$147M is being spent on generation, transmission,
substation, distribution and automation of critical
assets expected to go into operation in 2013.
GEC/GPL has consistently struggled with inadequate
resources resulting in struggles on every front.
This trend will be reversed by the end of 2013 West
Demerara will be linked to the Demerara transmission
system via a submarine cable across the Demerara
river, new substations will be operational at Vreed-enHoop and Edingburg (West Coast), a new 26MW
Wartsila power plant would be in commercial
operation at Vreed-en-Hoop, new substations would
be in operation at Golden Grove (East Bank),
Georgetown, Sophia, Good Hope (East Coast),
Columbia (Upper East Coast) and a new Central
Control Center at Sophia equipped with a
sophisticated SCADA system will be operational.

Fighting losses through the
AMI
Mr. Bharat Dindyal
For us, technology inspires our vision:
to deliver superior, sustainable
solutions for Guyana.
Loss Reduction
High losses remain the single greatest threat to GPL
and sustainable loss reduction is our goal. In the past,
we used a combination of technology and labour
intensive methods to confront losses but while the
initial results were good, losses have stagnated around
32%.
The latest in metering technology would now be
introduced to tackle this problem, supported by
innovative network designs to form a coordinated
approach. Technology will therefore lead the loss
reduction fight of the future reducing the dependence
on old policing methods and exposing our staff to
danger.
Customer Service
Some progress has been made in improving Customer
Service but much more was expected. Our new
Customer Information System (CIS) has been in use
over two years now but we are still only using the basic
features of the application.
We have now devised a plan, to be implemented
incrementally over the next five years, to transform
Customer Service much faster to the high standards
all our Consumers expect.The use of ICT to improve
all our processes, leveraging more features of CIS,
widespread use of SMART metering, online billing and
vastly reducing the hassles of bill payment and
querying are some of the elements of this new plan.
Our Performance
While service delivery has improved over the past
years consumers still complain of power outages.With
the generation and overloaded network problems
being addressed, adequate maintenance of our
networks remains a challenge. We expect that this
problem would be addressed comprehensively in the
coming months and years. Our distribution system has
expanded dramatically over the last eight years placing
a heavy burden on our maintenance capacity.
To address this problem the Company would increase
its investment in articulated vehicles and specialized
power tools.This investment would be supplemented
by specialized training to undertake live–line
maintenance.
GPL would continue to engage contract resources to
assist in network maintenance and emergency
services.
Our Staff
Change is always accompanied by doubt and concerns
about job security. In these times of exciting change,
new opportunities would present themselves. In some
cases completely new skill sets are required while in
others it’s a matter of updating our training for the
new technologies we would be employing.
Management would engage staff and make appropriate
training available as it would always be our intention to
make the opportunities available to them first. See
change as pregnant with opportunities rather than a
death sentence

INTRODUCTORY ISSUE
Cummings Park
residents are the
first beneficiaries
of the GPL/IDB
Network
Rehabilitation
Project
The US$5M Network Rehabilitation
loan funded by the Inter-American
Development Bank (IDB) and the
Government of Guyana proved great
success in the Cummings Park
Community.
This project is premised under fundamental principles which will
help to improve the overall efficiency of the system by:
(1) achieving a lower level of electricity losses;
(2) improving operation and maintenance of the distribution
network;
(3) improving understanding of the main technical, financial,
social, environmental and operational issues;
(4) reducing the incidence of theft of electricity; and
(5) gaining commitment to the sustainability of the power
sector.
In an effort to ensure that the project objectives are met
sufficiently, the project is being executed through three (3)
components over the 4 year plan. These components are (1)
Capacity Building and Energy Conservation (2) – Rehabilitation
of the Low Voltage (LV) Distribution Network and (3)
Commercial Loss Reduction (LR) Actions.
The residents of Cummings Park being the first beneficiaries of
the works associated with project has testified to the
improvement of the new system.
Divisional Director Kumar Sharma and Divisional Director
Renford Homer in discussions with residents of Cummings Park
who benefitted from the project.
Loss Reduction remains a critical component in the GPL’s
sustainability and our Company has strategized and invested
billions of dollars and implemented several initiatives to address
the problem. GPL has made modest gains in containing
electricity theft and reducing the percentage of electricity lost to
theft, while recognizing that persons continue to find newer and
more sophisticated ways to steal electricity, the Company has
intensified its efforts to deal with the problem.
This loan was inked on September 23, 2011 by President Luis
Alberto Moreno representing the IDB and Hon. Minister of
Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh representing GoG under loan
agreement Sustainable Operation of the Electricity Sector and
Improved Quality of Service: LO-2567/BL-GY.
Ms.Angela Young a resident of Cummings Park for over 15 years
remarked “the first thing I noticed was the fact that we are
not getting low voltage, … people are unable to thief the
electricity so paying customers are getting the right
supply”.
This is an incremental step on the Company’s behalf as similar
rehabilitative work will be carried out in communities namely:
Region 3: Canal No. 2, La Grange,Windsor Forest, Region 4: East
La Penitence, North East La Penitence, Victoria, Enmore, Mon
Repos, Helena Mahaica and Region 6: Lochaber New
Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Cotton Tree, Canje, Now or Never,
Rosignol H/S, Springlands, Rose Hall and Miss Phoebe-Port
Mourant.
This operation will help to improve the quality of service
provided by the utility and strengthen its technical capabilities. It
will also promote the resourceful use of energy and the culture
of payment.

INTRODUCTORY ISSUE
Fighting losses through Advanced
Metering Infrastructure
Through the introduction of various initiatives. GPL
remains resolute on combating technical and commercial
losses which can affect the operations of the Company and
ultimately the services we offer to our growing customer
base.
One such initiative to be unveiled this year is the Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project which is being
funded by the Inter American Development Bank (IADB) at
an investment cost of over US$30M for approximately
2000 customers within the business hub of Georgetown.
This project will allow the business community between
Vlissengen Road to Avenue of the Republic and North Road
to Croal Street to benefit from the AMI’s automated
architecture, two-way communication between a smart
utility meter with an IP address and our Company.
The goal of an AMI is to provide GPL with real-time data
about power consumption and it will also allow customers
to make informed choices about energy usage based on the
price at the time of use.
The introduction of AMI will strengthen our current loss
recovery programme as it will significantly reduce the need
for labour intensive strategies which creates an
environment for fraud and corruption from unscrupulous
employees.
Merging of
GPL Call Centres
On Saturday, June 29, 2013 without
any glitches the Guyana Power and
Light Inc (GPL) has taken another
crucial stride towards improving its

INTRODUCTORY ISSUE
GPL’S MODERNIZATION PLAN
New Vreed-en-Hoop Substation
New Sophia Substation
The Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) in collaboration with the
Government of Guyana and the China Export –Import Bank
through a concessionary loan of US$38.963 million are forging
ahead with the development and expansion of GPL’s
Transmission and Distribution System.This loan is supplemented
by US$3.9 million from GPL’s revenue for preparatory works,
including route clearing, site preparation and backfilling to above
2005 flood levels.
The First Priority Works on the West Demerara were
completed and commissioned since early December 2012 and
are providing an improved quality of service to that region.These
Works are: (i) the expansion of the Kingston 69Kv Substation, (ii)
the installation of a 69Kv submarine cable across the Demerara
River from Kingston to Vreed-en-Hoop, (iii) construction of two
new substations at Vreed-en-Hoop and Edinburgh, and (iv)
construction of a 69Kv transmission line linking the two new
substations.
The Infrastructure Development project will see the
construction of seven (7) new 69/13.8Kv Sub Stations,
approximately 96Km of 69Kv overhead Transmission Lines, the
upgrade and expansion of three (3) existing Sub Stations and the
construction of a Fiber Optic Network Linking all substations
from Skeldon in the East, Edinburgh in the West and Garden of
Eden in the South to a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) System at a New Control Centre at Sophia.
The Transmission Lines and Substations will serve to integrate
major load centres along the coast, and will provide the capability
to move bulk power from large, efficient, heavy fuel oil fired
generating plants in Demerara and Berbice to those load centers.
Additionally, new 13.8Kv primary distribution feeder outlets at
the substations will allow existing long, overloaded feeders,
especially on the East and West Coast Demerara, to be
segmented into shorter, more lightly loaded sections.
These developments will result in improved quality
of supply, system stability, improved voltage
regulation, and reduction of technical losses.They
will also prepare the system to accept and
distribute power from the Amaila Falls
Hydroelectric Project.
GPL wishes to assure all that system improvements and
upgrades will contribute to improved services to our valued
customers. However, with the advent of GPL’s budget cut of
$5.2B the Company’s development plan will be adversely
affected.
The existing Sophia 69Kv substation is being expanded and
upgraded and linked to a new Sophia 69Kv substation.The works
in the existing Sophia 69Kv substation necessitated a number of
power outages to Consumers on the East Coast and parts of
South Georgetown and the East Bank. Now that new equipment
has been positioned in the Sophia substation its complete
shutdown is required to integrate this new equipment with
existing equipment.
GPL afforded the media an opportunity to view the completed
works at the existing Sophia Substation so that they can better
appreciate the scope of works being executed. In addition, our
company completed the final shutdown of the Substation on July
14, 2013 where the new equipment for the new Sophia
Substation were connected. This shutdown affected the power
supply of consumers from North Sophia to Bygeval (Mahaica)
and Georgetown.

INTRODUCTORY ISSUE
REALIZING
WORLD
STANDARD
Conversion of Frequencies
from 50Hz to 60Hz
Over the years, the Guyana Power and Light Inc.(GPL) has
always had the conversion of the distribution system of
Demerara and Berbice to a single frequency at the fore
front and in 2013, works commenced in Demerara and a
dream materialized.
Several communities were successfully converted to the
60Hz frequencies across Demerara, the communities are
namely: Sections of Bel Air Park, Campbellville, Kingston,
Thomas Land, Cummingsburg, Bourda, Albertown,
Queenstown, Robbstown, Werk-en-Rust, Charlestown,
Albouystown, La Penitence, Riverview, West Ruimveldt,
Ruimveldt Industrial Estate and Meadow Bank. Exhibition
Compound, Homestretch Avenue and
Shelter Belt
Compound.
The purpose of the standardization of the distribution
system to a single frequency is to supply the electric power
demand in an efficient, reliable and cost-effective manner.
The exercise coincides with conversion of units at the
Wartsila Kingston 1 Plant from 50Hz to 60 Hz, and will lead
to a significant reduction in technical losses as there will be
no need to operate the rotary converters to convert from
one frequency to another.
The scope entails the replacement of 50Hz transformers,
upgrading primary distribution network, constructing new
network and dividing Georgetown into power supply
network zones.
Utilization of a single frequency will allow GPL greater
flexibility in providing alternative supply in the event of
network faults, and improve on the level of service

provided.
In addition, consumers’ equipment rated for dual
frequency (50hz/60hz) operation will function more
efficiently.
The objectives of the conversion are: to decommission
the converters, construct transmission lines and
associated substations with 13.8KV, 60Hz outlets, to
significantly reduce feeder lengths and the associated
losses, and adequately supply the combined 50Hz and

Tips
FOR THE
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
1. Switch computers off when it’s not in use. Even switching a
monitor off over tea and lunch break prevents excessive
heat build up in a room.
2. Don’t leave equipment on standby mode. They continue
to us up to 70% of normal power consumption.
COOLING
1. Keep doors and windows closed while AC is on.
2. Turn off ACS at the end of your work day.
3. Report any factors which affect comfort levels such as
draughty windows and doors. A simple repair could save
energy and improve user comfort.
LIGHTING
Switch off all lights at the end of your work day.
