As part of Guyana’s Hinterland Energy Strategy from 2013, the Hinterland Renewable Energy project was launched in 2014 to provide energy access to rural households that are not connected to the national grid. As of 2014, 11 540 solar home systems had been installed in nearly 200 communities, along with training for 400 mostly Indigenous people for the installation and maintenance of systems. Building off this, Guyana is working to ensure universal energy access by 2030 through investments in off-grid solar systems, expansion of the Hinterland Electrification Programme, replacement and upgrade of solar powered systems, and development of micro grids at public/community buildings for large hinterland areas. Installation of 13 solar farms leading to a combined 37.5 MW of solar PV capacity are expected to be completed by 2023. In addition, Guyana received funding to install a 3 MW grid-connected solar PV system at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, along with 30 000 solar home systems to benefit Hinterland and rural communities with limited electricity access. Moreover, the completion of 20 solar PV micro-grids in Hinterland communities will be concluded in 2022. Three mini hydropower plants are also advancing to benefit Hinterland communities.

Big Oil Eyes Record Profits but Keeps Spending in Check

Oil supermajors have been raking it in since the war in the Middle East began. They are now set to report another robust quarter, even as some jurisdictions where they operate plan to slap windfall taxes on them. The question now is what Big Oil will do with these profits. The answer: it probably won’t be a spending spree. They sure have the money for a spree. If the second quarter is any indication—and it is—oil and gas majors are having a really strong year. Out of all S&P 500 sectors, Energy booked annual growth of 128.2%…

U.S. Energy Red Tape Gives China an Edge

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 was introduced in the Senate at the end of September and is expected to be debated after the mid-term elections when Congress returns from the recess on November 9. The bill would reinforce statutory deadlines…

S&P Global Warns Hormuz Energy Shock Could Become a Global Food Crisis

As BP Leaves the North Sea, These Independents Are Buying In

Back in July, UK oil and gas major BP Plc.
