U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM) Chairman John Jovanovic will arrive in Guyana tomorrow for high-level meetings aimed at strengthening economic cooperation and supporting the country’s transformative gas-to-energy project.
During his visit, Jovanovic is scheduled to meet with President Irfaan Ali, the American Chamber of Commerce, and staff from Houston-based contractor Lindsayca Inc., which is executing the gas-to-energy project backed by US$527 million in EXIM financing.
The project, the largest infrastructure investment in Guyana’s history, is expected to double the country’s installed electricity capacity, cut electricity costs by 50 per cent for households and businesses, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 460,000 tons annually.
Key components include a natural gas separation plant, a 300-megawatt combined cycle gas turbine power plant, and a gas supply pipeline.
Lindsayca Inc. has made significant progress on all aspects of construction, leveraging its expertise in energy infrastructure to deliver transformative results for Guyana’s energy sector.
Chairman Jovanovic’s visit highlights the United States’ ongoing commitment to Guyana’s economic development and energy security through reliable and transparent financing, while signalling potential support for additional development projects.
