Leguan Achieves Energy Security with New Solar Photovoltaic Farm

Guyana commissioned a 0.60-megawatt solar PV farm in Leguan, featuring a solar array and battery storage that provide up to ten hours of renewable power daily. The $292.1 million project reduces reliance on diesel, saving about 1,400 drums annually while lowering costs and emissions. As the third grid-forming solar farm nationwide, it strengthens Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy 2030. The initiative boosts energy security, supports local businesses, encourages investment, and demonstrates how renewable energy drives sustainable community and national development.
