GPL’s Power Crisis and the Talent Drain

GPL’s Power Crisis and the Talent Drain

Published 16 hours ago
Description

Guyana’s power grid is in crisis as skilled workers flee to higher-paying oil jobs, pushing system losses to a troubling 25.43%—three points over target. Facing theft, outdated meters, and crumbling infrastructure, GPL’s progress has stalled. The Public Utilities Commission demands smarter metering, grid upgrades, and stronger oversight. In a bold move, GPL’s partnering with the Ministry of Education to train technicians at four institutes, aligning education with real-world needs to fuel future growth. But with aging equipment, commercial losses, and a shrinking skilled workforce, the utility’s uphill battle is far from over.
