116 INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC POLICY REVIEW resource available to the country. In attempts to realise the hidden potential of Guy- ana’s rivers and watersheds,since the 1970’s, there have been numerous attempts at hydropower development in Guyana. In 1976, Montreal Engineering Company lim- ited provided a report on the Kamaria hydroelectric potential located on the Cuyuni River. The report showed an upstream capacity at Oko Blue of 180 MW. In 1974, a Yugoslavia Engineering Company ENERGOPROJEKT did a comparative study be- tween an Upper Mazaruni Project site and a Kamaria site, which showed a combined installed capacity of 570 MW. A 1976 study funded by the United Nations identi- fied Turtruba on the Mazuruni River with an output capacity of 1100MW. The Moco Moco hydro project, located in the Moco Moco village in Region 9, which was spon- sored by the Chinese government, is languishing from neglect and inefficiency. Then there is the joint operation potential of the Kabalebo hydro- project on the Kabalebo River, which was explored by the Surinamese Government in 1971. Building dams for this project entails altering the flow of the Corentyne, upstream at the mouth of the Kabalebo River, a disputed area. The Government of Guyana should re-engage the Government of Suriname to realize optimum benefit from this project. GAPE es- timates that Guyana has a hydropower potential of 7000MW. In all this, Guyana has an exceptional capacity to produce hydropower with its re- sources. Guyana has a huge landmass, limited GDP, but abundant hydropower po- tential. This continues to be mentioned alongside the solar power energy that is also available. In Guyana, there are a number of energy areas that are being explored. In 2001, the Guyana Energy Agency stated that renewable energy is being examined comprehensively, especially in hydropower and eco-generation. Additionally, the 2001 statement made the proposal that solar energy can be used to deliver electric- ity in remote interior areas and that renewable energy is more affordable and more environmentally friendly. In this respect, Guyana is attempting to advance one step closer to utilizing its in- digenous resources, while reducing the national oil bill given that the government spends over U.S. $100 million per year on the import of fuel. National energy projects that are related to development and the provision of sustainable energy resources and systems include: 1 “Amaila Falls Hydropower project–a proposed 100MW facility with the National grid as the main load centre located on the Kuribrong River. The project is cur- rently awaiting a power purchase agreement. 2 TurtubaHydropowerProject-apotential200-400MWfacilitytobelocatedonthe Mazaruni River and has the potential to either export power to Brazil or the Carib- bean island chain, or supply Guyana’s bauxite/aluminium industries. 3 Delta-Caribbean Wind Farm Project –a proposed 7-12MW-wind farm project along the coast of Guyana. 4 GuyronWindEnergy-GuyronhasbeengrantedaMOUbythegovernmenttocon- duct wind studies at eight locations in Guyana. 5 BiomassEnergyFarmProject-aGuyanaEnergyAgencyprojectthatlinksbetween energy and natural resource management. 6 CogenerationatthenewSkeldonSugarFactory-theconstructionofanewsugar
