* Homes in Guyana use less electricity than homes in the US---but here in the US---1 MW can supply the needs of 1000 homes----25 MW will supply the needs of 25K homes.

* Anyway, Amaila if ever developed is expected to produce 165 MW of electricity----and will cost nearly 1 billion.

* The Hope Beach wind warm will produce 25MW and will cost only 42 million.

* Do the math---looks like wind cheaper than hydro.

* By the way, as much as I support hydro---that Amaila falls project proposed by Sithe Global would have ripped off Guyana.

amalia was also meant to produce for northern brazil. i think a wind farm would be great for lethem to develop a major border town to the giant in the south. They have a bridge. Next a long asphalt runaway. All of this could lead to an opening and reawakening of Guyana.

* Amalia was not meant for Northern Brazil.

* Take a look at this image:



* There will be 2 sub-stations---one in Linden and the next in Georgetown----connected by the transmission lines.


RE: THE HYDRO THAT WILL BENEFIT BRAZIL

* There is a Brazillian consortium that is interested in constructing a hydro project in the Mazaruni region.

* They are planning on spending 45 million US on a prefeasibility and then feasibility studies.

* But there have been some delays in getting the studies started.

See link:

* Now, if that hydro in mazaruni ever gets developed by the Brazilians---that would be HUGE.

I did and was impressed with his English and ease on the ears voice tone:

Comme had to " buss him off " in his attempt to be a Salesman of the stuff you posted above !

rev you know anything about the company looking for oil.  it seems they have lack of funds equipment etc. the studies have shown that there is oil there

Guyana has so much potential . i hope all these projects get off the ground.

is there a way by land to bartica?

Bartica is an Island
