Guyana’s gas-to-energy (GTE) project is now 68 per cent complete, with 400 more workers set to join as construction speeds up at the Wales site in Region Three.

Contractor Lindsayca has begun building housing for the new staff, who will work in 12-hour shifts.

The project’s centrepiece is a 300-megawatt power plant that will run on natural gas.

It is already 74 per cent finished and will cut electricity costs once operational. Prime Minister Mark Phillips, who toured the site with Public Utilities Minister Deodat Indar, promised that Guyanese households would see cheaper power by late 2026.

Work is moving ahead on turbine foundations, with one completed and another set to start soon. Indar stressed that cheaper electricity was a campaign pledge and remains a top government priority.

The project is expected to drive Guyana’s industrial growth, with land already earmarked for a fertiliser plant, a glass factory, and a data centre.
