The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) on Wednesday formally commissioned its new office in Queenstown, Georgetown. At the commissioning ceremony its Chairman, Justice Prem Persaud, reflected on the rocky road to finding a permanent residence to house the entity.
He said that the office was built from savings earned through assessment fees from the utility companies. He expressed his pleasure with the Commission acquiring a place.
“This building is very convenient, it suits our purpose, and it is very comfortable and convenient for the staff.”
He expressed gratitude to Prime Minister, Samuel Hinds and his office for its continued and everlasting support towards the Commission.
Words of congratulations were offered by Prime Minister Hinds, who noted, “This ceremony marks another step in the life of the PUC.”
He said out that the area of regulation has been magnified by the Government of Guyana and it is seen as one in which tremendous effort should be placed. “There is a need for institutions that would oversee these utilities and ensure that the customers and the general public also receive a fair deal.”
He added out that the Commission is not mandated to be under any instruction whatsoever from government, and is working in the favour of the general public.
The PUC is a corporate body that was set up to ensure that regulated utilities offer an efficient service to consumers at a reasonable cost. These include water, electricity, and telephone services.
