Jagdeo’s mansion uses 3 of 4 transformers in Pradoville 2

August 17, 2015 | By | Filed Under News 

The distribution of electrical transformers has been most irregular with the discovery of three transformers being connected to the home of former president Bharrat Jagdeo. The authorities say that one transformer is often enough for a large company that demands a lot of electricity. Recently it was discovered that the home of former President Bharrat Jagdeo was connected to three transformers when large companies had only one transformer. The situation at Pradoville Two was that like most housing communities where there would have been infrastructure provided by the authorities. In this case the scheme emerged but there was no supporting infrastructure. Just a fortnight ago the community had its first water meter. But the electric connections were there. The connection leading to the home of former President Bharrat Jagdeo raised questions at a time when established companies could not boost their power supply.

One generator is often enough to channel power to a company that uses hundreds of kilowatts. For Jagdeo to have three transformers leading to his home would suggest that he has needs for more power than a large company. Jagdeo at his Pradoville mansion needs to support a swimming pool. Word is that the lighting system is immense. There are multi-million-dollar chandeliers, air conditioning for his dog kennel and even for his cat. The investigation is likely to discover a warehouse to store pharmaceuticals, the likes of which GPC constructed to fashion the multi-million dollar contractors offered to the New Guyana Pharmaceutical Corporation. The fact that the area has more electricity than any other community contrasts with what happens with the supply of potable water. The community recently received its first water meter installed at the home of Dr Roger Luncheon. For five years the community has been enjoying potable water free of cost. In fact, most of the community still enjoys free potable water.

KN should channel their energy to the Ruling Parties in Parliament. They should expose the racism that is becoming cancerous. I am pretty that they don't know how many jobs were created by this government.

Y Mr. Zed?

I ma not an electrician and my knowledge in this area is severely limited. they need to state what the capacity of the transformers are, and where exactly are the transformers. I have a relatively small, house and I have two transformers. For two different purposes. I fail to understand why there will be three transformers attached to the house.

This is the kind of transformer at issue. There are reportedly 4 such transformers in Pradoville2, and 3 of them are hooked up to Jagdeo's property only.

Pradoville 2 ‘power house’…“I don’t know anything about transformers”- Jagdeo

August 18, 2015 | By | Filed Under News 

“I’m not a technical person so I don’t know about the transformers.” So said former president turn Opposition leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday when asked about a report that his mansion uses three of four transformers in Pradoville 2.

When pressed further Jagdeo remained adamant:  “I don’t know anything about transformers, I know about the electricity.” A point that he dubbed interesting is that as far as he is aware “…in the last two months when we have paid our electricity bill, the bill has come down by almost half without any change in policy or use.” He noted that it seems as though his community was placed on a government residential tariff which is higher than the normal tariff, but made it clear that he does not know how electricity is supplied “I don’t know how electricity is supplied”. True to form, he then referred to Kaieteur News’ Publisher stating: “Glenn Lall knows a lot about transformers you should ask him about the transformer on the Regent Street property.” Speaking further he noted too that the situation is nothing new at his home for the past four years. As was reported in the Monday edition of this publication the distribution of electrical transformers has been most irregular with the discovery of three transformers being connected to Jagdeo’s home. The authorities say that one transformer is often enough for a large company that demands a lot of electricity. Recently it was discovered that Jagdeo’s residence was connected to three transformers. The situation at Pradoville Two was that like most housing communities where there would have been infrastructure provided by the authorities. In this case the scheme emerged, but there was no supporting infrastructure. Just a fortnight ago the community got its first water meter. But the electrical connections were already there. The connection leading to the home of former President’s mansion raised questions at a time when established companies could not boost their power supply. Jagdeo at his Pradoville mansion needs to support a swimming pool while word is that the lighting system is immense. There are multi-million-dollar chandeliers, air conditioning for his dog kennel and even for his cat. The investigation is likely to discover a warehouse to store pharmaceuticals, the likes of which GPC constructed to fashion the multi-million dollar contracts offered to the New Guyana Pharmaceutical Corporation. The fact that the area has more electricity than any other community contrasts with what happens with the supply of potable water. The community recently received its first water meter installed at the home of Dr Roger Luncheon. For five years the community has been enjoying potable water free of cost. In fact, most of the community still enjoys free potable water.

Nah...I think he has a 3-phase connection.  Not sure why a residential building would need a 3-phase connection unless he has some 3-phase motors in there which is possible.  I hope he is paying the correct rate...3-phase is a commercial rate, which is usually higher than residential.  Tell KN to check it out

Pradoville 2 ‘power house’…GPL shares cost of Jagdeo mansion transformers

 “Three transformers attached to a private residence is normally associated with upscale living. The ordinary man can’t afford that kind of luxury.”  – GPL official

While former President, Bharrat Jagdeo, has said that he does not know anything about transformers outside his mansion at Pradoville Two, a Guyana Power and Light (GPL) official yesterday confirmed that it is indeed true.
“Mr. Jagdeo’s home is indeed being powered by three transformers. The transformers are mounted on a lantern post just outside the mansion in Pradoville 2.”
He explained that the transformers are being used because of the type of power supply required. “He has a three-phase supply which includes three 25kva transformers while all other persons in the area are using a single phase 120-240 volts transformer.”
Explaining further, the official said that “this type of load is a more reliable type of supply that is personal and was requested based on the former President’s lifestyle.”
Asked about what kind of appliances the former President may be using to require three transformers, the official said it includes a central air conditioning system.
There are not many private citizens or Guyanese who will have three transformers running to a home. More so where the state is paying for the power used.
The acquisition and installation of the transformers is determined through an arrangement with the consumer and the GPL.
How much, if any, Jagdeo paid for those transformers was not immediately clear yesterday.
But one thing is obvious: there is no other former minister or government official who benefits from such a service in the Pradoville Two area.
