The Office of the Prime Minister of Guyana has issued a preliminary call for investors to support key energy projects at Wales, West Bank Demerara, signalling continued momentum in the country’s gas-to-energy initiative.
In a notice released on April 14, the Government of Guyana invited expressions of interest for investments in two major projects to be located near the Wales Gas-to-Energy Combined Cycle Power Plant and Natural Gas Liquids facilities.
The projects include the Guyana Ammonia and Urea Plant Inc. (GAUP), valued at US$300 million, and the Guyana Gas Bottling and Logistics Company (GGBLC), estimated at US$40 million.
According to the notice, the government is targeting investments of up to US$5 million per investor for the GAUP project, while the GGBLC initiative has a cap of US$1 million per investor. However, interested parties may indicate higher investment amounts.
Both ventures will operate as private companies and offer a government-guaranteed annual return of 10 per cent. Authorities also indicated that while all investors are encouraged to apply, priority will be given to Guyanese investors, including members of the diaspora.
Interested investors are required to submit detailed information as part of the expression of interest process, including ownership structure, identification details, and proposed investment terms.
Submissions must be made to the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board, located at Main and Urquhart Streets, by May 15, 2026.
The government noted that the current call is preliminary and will help inform the structuring of final investment terms ahead of a formal invitation.
