Georgetown: Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL), network conversion from 50Hz to 60Hz is moving apace with preparatory work being done in sections of Kingston. Bel Air Park has been completed.
The conversion is part of the bigger project to improve the transmission and distribution operations of GPL.
“The planned outages yesterday (Sunday) were the most widespread envisaged under the Infrastructure Development Project. Construction work is now expected to progress rapidly at our old and new Sophia substations and on new transmission lines to the East Coast and within Georgetown. GPL again wishes to thank its valued customers for their patience and understanding.” The company noted. “On completion of Kingston, attention will turn to Cummings Street. Consumers, as always, will be advised of the progress of the frequency conversion, as it affects their supply. GPL expects that the Georgetown supply frequency will be standardized at 60Hz by the end of July.”
The entire 22MW plant is expected to be operating at 60Hz by the end of July. 2
