#Guyana 🇬🇾 The Guyana government is nearing a deal with Turkish power supply company, Karpowership, to address the country's power deficit. The government revealed plans for a two-year agreement to secure 36 megawatts (MW) from a ship, providing much-needed relief to the nation's grid. Key points: 🛳️ Karpowership's involvement aims to offset peak demand and improve capacity. 💡 Efforts are underway to maximize existing capacity and bring offline equipment back online. 💼 Government ministers are in discussions to finalize the deal, targeting a swift implementation. 📉 The agreement underscores ongoing efforts to address power challenges and meet growing demand. Despite hurdles, including recent setbacks with generator installations, the government remains committed to resolving the power crisis and enhancing infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/e-HXWFwP #PowerRelief #EnergyInfrastructure

"Can our electrical infrastructure support the demand for electric vehicles?" One of the most frequent questions I encounter regarding the growth of electric vehicles in our region is about the infrastructure needed to support it. The answer is often complex, focusing on the critical need to renew and upgrade our transmission systems to keep up with demand. I'm stoked to see #BCHydro stepping up by increasing funding for infrastructure upgrades across the Lower Mainland and BC. These upgrades are essential not only for the expansion of electric vehicles but also for meeting the rising demand for housing in our growing communities. https://lnkd.in/gSSQHGSQ

Project Update: Hellenic Cables' Cyclades Interconnection. Hellenic Cables has successfully completed a key project in Phase D of connecting the Cyclades Islands to the Greek mainland grid. This project involved the study, supply, and installation of two submarine 3-core AC 150 kV XLPE cables between Lavrio and Serifos (109 km) and Serifos and Milos (47 km), with a maximum sea depth of 500 meters.   Executed from January to July, the project finished on schedule with the successful installation and protection of the submarine cables. This enhances energy reliability and efficiency for the Cyclades Islands and the mainland grid. #CenergyHoldings #HellenicCables #EnergyConnectivity #CycladesInterconnection

Wataynikaneyap Power announced the energization of Sachigo Lake First Nation. The northern Ontario community was connected to the provincial power grid on November 2, 2023. At about 645 km north of Thunder Bay, Sachigo Lake First Nation is one of the Wataynikaneyap Power transmission system’s most northern communities. Wataynikaneyap Power is majority-owned by an equal partnership of 24 First Nations, in partnership with Fortis Inc. and other private investors, to build and operate the ‘line that brings light’, a $1.9 billion dollar #infrastructure project. The 1,800 km Wataynikaneyap Power transmission system (No. 46 on our 2024 #Top100Projects report) will ultimately connect 17 remote First Nations to the Ontario power grid, removing their reliance on diesel-generated #electricity. Many of these generators are at capacity and not able to connect to new infrastructure. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gsaQjSAd
