Building a modern, low-carbon power system.
Rising electricity demand, aging generation assets, and a national commitment to renewables position Guyana as a priority market for utility-scale solar, storage, and grid modernization.
Context for infrastructure investment.
Guyana's energy transition combines gas-to-energy baseload with utility-scale renewables and grid modernization. The published figures below describe different things — installed capacity, a specific procurement program, and a modelled future system share — and should not be added together.
Solar milestones in the Guyanese power system
Three separate published figures: capacity already installed, the scope of a specific procurement program, and a modelled future system value. They measure different things and must not be added together.
| Category | Value (MW / MWp — non-additive) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Installed solar PV, 2024 | 17.37 MW Reported installed capacity | Historical |
| GUYSOL program | 33 MW Program scope | Reported |
| DBIS model, 2030 | 100 MWp Expected in system modelling | Projection |

Non-additive: these values are not cumulative and do not sum to a national total.

Rising Electricity Demand
Industrialization and household electrification are driving multi-year load growth.
Grid Modernization
Investment in transmission, distribution, and control systems to support reliability.
Utility-Scale Solar
Strong irradiance and available land make solar economically compelling at scale.
Gas-to-Energy Integration
Domestic gas is intended to provide firm baseload that complements variable renewables.
Renewable Energy Policy
National frameworks prioritize decarbonization and private participation.
Elementum is developing utility-scale renewable generation, storage, and grid infrastructure intended to align with Guyana's national energy strategy and long-term decarbonization objectives.
