LNDCH4 Guyana announces arrival of BESS to support GtE Project

LNDCH4 Guyana on Friday announced the arrival of the Backup Battery Storage System (BESS), a critical part of the power plant’s emergency support system, that is engineered to ensure uninterrupted energy delivery in the event of turbine failure.
The arrival of the BESS marks significant progress of the Gas-to-Energy (GtE) Project, and
highlights LNDCH4’s commitment to Guyana, the company said in a press release.
The BESS, which arrived at the John Fernandes wharf Friday, reinforces LNDCH4’s commitment to delivering a reliable power solution for Guyana, it added.
With a total capacity of 30 megawatts (MW), the system was shipped in 22 containers, which comprise battery racks, six inverters, auxiliary transformers, and a fully integrated Power Distribution Centre (PDC) shelter.
It also includes an Energy Management System (EMS), Battery Management System (BMS), Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), Fire suppression system and HVAC units to ensure optimal performance and safety under all conditions.
Designed to respond instantaneously, the BESS provides critical backup power to protect the integrity of the electrical grid and maintain operational stability in unexpected scenarios.
The company said that its latest delivery joins the growing list of critical components already received for the project, including two state-of-the-art gas turbines, each capable of generating 45 MW of electricity.
“This shipment demonstrates our continued commitment to the highest standard of operational excellence,” Country manager, Humberto Lopez, stated.
As a key component of Guyana’s landmark GtE initiative, the BESS will enhance the project’s efficiency and reliability; helping to stabilise the national grid, reduce carbon emissions and support the delivery of affordable electricity to homes and businesses across the country.
The statement added that LNDCH4 continues to meet international standards in quality, health, safety, environment and innovation.
With our team working on-site around the clock, focused on meeting international quality standards and the arrival of the BESS, the project moves one step closer to completion, ensuring Guyana’s transition to a more modern, energy-secure future, it concluded.
