Fundamental issues on hydropower development in Guyana ...

1. From the numerous studies on hydropower develop -- more that two hundred -- Amaila hydropower project is the one for Guyana to develop on an independent basis.

2. Amaila hydro can generate power to the greater part of Guyana except for the Essequibo coast.

3. Any smaller plants will serve the needs of the local communities.

4. Larger generating projects are outside the scope from a financial basis for Guyana. For these larger projects to develop, it needs the lead role of major countries - e.g., Brazil - which will effectively own the operation(s).
