Gas-to-Energy is just the first step to a better electricity grid

But GTE itself is just one piece of building a more reliable, affordable and accessible electrical system in Guyana. Electrical grids are generally divided into three parts: generation, transmission and distribution. Each plays a vital role in providing reliable power. Guyana Power and Light (GPL) currently oversees all three elements.
