Battery system arrives in Guyana for delayed Gas-to-Energy project
LNDCH4, the U.S. joint venture building an integrated natural gas processing facility at Wales, announced on Friday the arrival of a 30-megawatt backup battery energy
The arrival of the BESS follows the earlier delivery of two gas turbines, each capable of generating 45 megawatts of electricity. Together, these components are expected to enhance the reliability of Guyana's national grid, reduce carbon emissions, and support the delivery of more affordable electricity.
The BESS forms a critical part of the power plant's emergency support system and is engineered to ensure uninterrupted energy delivery in the event of turbine failure. The inclusion of this advanced battery system reinforces LNDCH4's commitment to delivering a reliable power solution for Guyana.
The following recommendations are therefore applicable for Guyana's gas to power project. Adequate grid infrastructure, policy, and legislative changes are required to ensure that all Guyanese benefit entirely from the gas to power project.
A gas to power project is expected to improve the availability and quality of social services in many communities. Based on current population growth rates, Guyana's per capita GDP is projected to exceed US$16,900 by 2030, enabling the country to reach close to high-income status.
