"In addition to the significant benefit that hydroelectric power will provide by reducing operating costs and improving sustainability of the Toroparu Project, the development of a hydroelectric facility in Guyana''s Region 7 could provide a significant catalyst for further development of the region''s proven mineral potential."
Electricity sector in Guyana
The electricity sector in Guyana is dominated by Guyana Power and Light (GPL), the state-owned vertically integrated utility. Although the country has a large potential for hydroelectric and bagasse-fueled power generation, most of its 226 MW of installed capacity correspond to thermoelectric diesel-engine driven generators.. Reliability or electricity supply is very low,

Can you power your home using a microhydropower system? Yes, you can power your entire home using a microhydropower system. Microhydropower can produce up to 100 kilowatts of electricity, enough for 100 homes. A 10-kilowatt system is more than enough to power a large home or small farm. However, production depends on a water system''s head

6 FAQs about [Guyana hydroelectric systems for home]
Why is hydro important in Guyana?
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.
Is hydropower a good alternative to solar energy in Guyana?
Hydro will also provide, in the long-term, a cheaper solution than any other technology, due to its long lifespan. In Guyana, solar energy, wind and hydropower are good complementary resources. Solar energy is available during daylight hours, peaking at noon, while wind is stronger during evening hours and at nights.
What is a small-scale hydropower project in Guyana?
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.
Can hydropower provide Guyana with utility-scale and small-scale capacity?
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).
How many hydropower sites are there in Guyana?
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.
Can a hydropower project be implemented in Guyana?
With the active support from agencies in Guyana, we studied the possibilities and considered various sites and means of implementation. ENMAN also considered a UNDP sponsored study from 1976 which identified several sites for hydropower development.
