InterEnergy unveils roadmap for modernising Guyana’s electricity system

– No country can build tomorrow on an electricity system designed for yesterday – CEO

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of InterEnergy Group, Rolando González Bunster, recently presented his company’s progress, vision, and long-term roadmap to support the transformation of Guyana’s electricity system into a more reliable, resilient, and digitally managed network capable of sustaining the country’s rapid economic growth.
The presentation was made on Thursday evening at the inauguration of InterEnergy’s new office in Georgetown, which reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to Guyana and its energy future.
“The countries that prosper in the decades ahead will be those that build the infrastructure to match their ambitions. Guyana has that opportunity today,” Bunster told the invitees, including President Dr Irfaan Ali, senior Government officials, and business leaders at the event.

He added, “No country can build tomorrow on an electricity system designed for yesterday. Guyana has a unique opportunity to build a modern, resilient, and intelligent energy system capable of supporting the next generation of growth.”
As such, he stated that InterEnergy is ready to support the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) and the Government of Guyana by bringing technical expertise, accelerating execution, strengthening local capabilities, and helping create a stronger system for future generations.
Guyana is experiencing one of the fastest rates of economic growth in the world, creating unprecedented demand for reliable electricity to support new industries, expanding cities, digital infrastructure, investment, and improved quality of life.
Under its agreement with GPL, InterEnergy is supporting the modernisation of the country’s electricity sector through infrastructure supervision, project management, power plant optimisation, asset life management, and the development of a smart grid roadmap through 2030.
The objective is to help create a modern electricity system capable of supporting Guyana’s long-term economic and social development.
To date, InterEnergy has been providing supervision for the development and construction of key electricity infrastructure projects, including more than 350 kilometres (km) of transmission lines, 240km of distribution networks, 16 new or expanded substations, and the deployment of 20,000 smart meters. These investments are helping strengthen the reliability, resilience, and modernisation of Guyana’s electricity system.
The partnership also includes the development of a smart grid roadmap through 2030 to support the modernisation of Guyana’s electricity system through advanced technologies, renewable energy integration, and battery storage.
Beyond the current scope of work, InterEnergy highlighted how its broader regional platform could support Guyana’s long-term energy ambitions. The company brings proven experience from operating one of Latin America’s most advanced smart grids through CEPM in the Dominican Republic, complemented by capabilities in power generation, battery energy storage systems, digital utility platforms serving more than five million users, and electric mobility infrastructure through Evergo.
