Even as Guyanese authorities accelerate oil production offshore, strategic steps are being taken to diversify the nation''s energy mix. According to the Head of the Guyana Energy Agency
In Guyana, solar energy is used for several purposes, including drying agricultural produce, irrigation, ICT, and to improve electricity access in rural areas. Under the Hinterland Electrification Programme, in excess of 19,000 solar PV systems had been installed in nearly 200 communities by 2018.
The main electric utility, Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) is preparing plans for 3 utility scale solar PV farms totaling 30 MW for the national grid in the long term, as well as 0.75 MW Solar PV Farm at Wakenaam and a 4 MW Solar PV Farm at Onverwagt in the near future.
As a result, most locations across Guyana have excellent solar insolation levels and are ideal for solar PV generation. As at 2018, the total installed capacity for Solar PV in Guyana is 4.63 MW with an estimated annual generation of 7.16 GWh.
In addition, 1.184 MW of solar PV systems will be installed at 80 public buildings in all 10 Administrative Regions of Guyana in 2019. These installations will result in estimated savings of G$114 million and avoiding 1,415 tons of CO 2 emissions per year.
Guyana is currently dependent on imported petroleum-based fuels as its main source of energy.
However, the Energy sector is poised for significant transformation due to Guyana re-committing itself to the development of its indigenous renewable energy resources and to pursue 100% renewable energy in electricity generation in its Green State Development Strategy.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years.
