Guyana president admits GPL underperformance, Dominican firm urges grid upgrades

President Irfaan Ali acknowledged that state-owned Guyana Power and Light (GPL) has not improved the electricity sector to meet growing commercial and domestic demand, following criticism from former minister David Patterson. A Dominican Republic energy company recommended specific improvements to GPL, though details remain unclear. This signals potential policy shifts or investment in Guyana's power infrastructure, which is critical for its oil-driven economic expansion.
