The Meeco Group has been awarded a contract for the supply and installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system at the State House by the Guyana Energy Agency.
The Ministry of the Presidency will also be equipped with a state-of-the-art 43 kWp solar rooftop system which will be synchronised with the grid.
The Meeco Group’s Guyanese joint venture company, Oursun Guyana, will take the lead in executing the project. Within the scope of several tenders, as issued by the Government of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, Meeco will install a Sun2live solar rooftop solution on the State House in the capital Georgetown.
The system, according to a news report on www.pv-magazine.com, will produce more than 54,000 kWh of clean and sustainable energy per year and therefore ensure up to 35,000 kilograms of CO2 savings annually.
By supplying the excess energy, not needed for internal consumption, directly to the grid, the State House contributes to fostering the expansion of a sustainable national energy supply.
The tender for the installation of a solar solution on the State House in Georgetown is part of the general approach of the government aiming to strengthen the use of renewable energy technologies and striving towards a clean energy supply in the South American state.
In order to turn the national energy sector green, several tenders for the installation of solar systems for public and private buildings have been issued.
The Meeco Group and Oursun Guyana said they are enthused by the opportunity to reduce the carbon emissions and bring environmental benefits to Guyana and the whole region by participating in several more of these tenders.
The Meeco Group has described itself as highly experienced in the realisation of renewable energy projects in the Caribbean. Together with its Joint Venture partner, numerous solar systems have been installed on the twin-island state Antigua and Barbuda, including at the V.C. Bird International Airport.
