GPL in dispute with Honduran generators company

The Guyana Power and Light (GPL) and APAN Energy – the company that supplied 18 used generators from Honduras in 2023  – are currently in legal discussions as the utility company wants to leverage  liquidated damages for late delivery of the engines.

 “The matter is being reviewed by external counsel, London House Chambers  at the request of GPL with instructions to claim liquidated damages and compensation for any breach of contract established. London House Chambers have already made contact with APAN’s counsel  in pursuance thereof,” Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC told the Sunday Stabroek when asked for an update.

During his end of year press conference last week, President Irfaan Ali had informed that he and his Cabinet have said to GPL that once this country pays for a service and delivery and it was not met, “that action must be taken”. He had said that Nandlall was charged with overseeing the process and that action had already commenced. “. All the issues surrounding what happened are being dealt by the AG, performance, every single thing,” the President said.
