30% Electricity Tariff Reduction Brings Relief to Mahdia and Campbelltown Residents

Residents of Mahdia and Campbelltown in Region Eight will benefit from a 30% electricity tariff reduction following the integration of a 0.65-megawatt solar farm into the local grid. The project, generating 935 megawatt-hours annually, includes battery storage for stability and reduces diesel use by over 309,000 litres yearly. This transition saves $80.5 million, cuts emissions by 672,000 kilograms, and aligns with Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy 2030, advancing affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy for hinterland communities.
