Economic losses to the nation – SASENARINE

“The record would show that once upon a time I combatted Mr. Jagdeo when he was running for office on the big issues like the Amalia Falls Hydro Project (AFHP). My source of concern then was the cost of the construction of the AFHP at a price tag of close to US$1 billion. This Project was expected to put into the system 166 MW of green, low cost, and reliable electricity. If one measures the economic losses to the nation between 2009 to 2018 because of the underperformance of GPL, it is much more than US$1 billion.”
