Guyana commissioned the Batavia Village Solar Grid, a GYD 300 million (~$1.43 million) project executed by CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited with government collaboration. The system included an 81-kilowatt micro-grid at Greenfield, a 24.2-kilowatt unit at Arian Island, and 51 solar home systems of 2.2 kilowatts each, electrifying more than 125 households. It replaced diesel generation and delivered 24-hour renewable electricity to the Region Seven community for the first time. The project, launched in 2021, became the second solar grid in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni region after Bartica’s 1.5-megawatt plant. Technical support came from the Hinterland Electrification Company and the Guyana Energy Agency under the Office of the Prime Minister. It was part of Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy 2030 and a broader plan to build 41 more solar installations across nine regions by 2026.
