Wales project’s 57MW turbine commitment against a 300MW target
Lindsayca’s original contract called for 300MW by the end of 2024. For December 2026, the government has described a commitment for one 57MW turbine. Kaieteur News says the government’s general liquidated-damages policy does not settle whether penalties will apply to this contractor.

Kaieteur News reported that Lindsayca Guyana Inc.’s US$759 million contract called for 300 megawatts of electricity by the end of 2024. By September 2026, the project was expected to deliver only a fraction of that output by the end of the year. Public Utilities and Aviation Minister Deodat Indar said the government had a commitment from Lindsayca for one turbine expected to generate 57MW by year-end. Prime Minister Mark Phillips separately said the company had assured officials it would meet the December 2026 deadline for simple-cycle power. The 57MW commitment is for one turbine, not the contracted 300MW total.
Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh said the government would enforce liquidated damages for contract time overruns, except where strong and compelling extenuating or justifying circumstances apply. Kaieteur News reported that the government had not yet determined whether Lindsayca would face penalties. Phillips said officials would decide the next step after the December deadline; his statement did not specify that the step would be a penalty decision. The general enforcement policy therefore does not establish what action, if any, will be taken against Lindsayca.
