Small-scale is discussed under “Isolated Grids” below. Guyana has a potential for 8.5 Gigawatt (GW) of hydropower on 33 hydropower plants (including storage capacity and run-of-river). It is anticipated that Guyana will build two hydro plants over the next 20 years: Amaila Falls and another which is still to be identified.
Hydropower has the potential to provide Guyana with both utility-scale and small-scale capacity. Small-scale is discussed under “Isolated Grids” below. Guyana has a potential for 8.5 Gigawatt (GW) of hydropower on 33 hydropower plants (including storage capacity and run-of-river).
The following is a summary of 67 potential hydropower sites in Guyana. In addition to hydropower, a 1.5 MW solar farm is being developed to displace diesel generators. The hydropower plant will add additional capacity to the grid to meet the town’s growing demand which currently ranges from 2 MW to 3 MW.
Within the renewable energy resources available in Guyana, hydro will be important to provide firm capacity and short-term energy storage to compensate for daily and weekly fluctuations form solar and wind. Hydro will also provide, in the long-term, a cheaper solution than any other technology, due to its long lifespan.
The Kato site in Guyana is a potential hydropower site with a capacity of 3 MW. Under the Unserved Areas Electrification Programme, the Hinterland Electrification component, Government of Guyana is currently seeking funding to conduct a feasibility study for this site. Below is a map depicting the location of potential hydropower sites in Guyana.
