…special state-owned company to take over maintenance, staffingAfter more than two decades managing some of the country’s biggest power plants, it appears that Wartsila’s contract will not be renewed.The decision by the administration would be one of the most significant taken for the power sector since the coalition government came to power last year May.Guyana will discontinue Wartsila’s management of its power engines when the current contract ends later this year.According to sources within the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) and Government, the decision not to renew the Wartsila contract has strictly to do with a holistic plan to cut costs for the state-owned entity.The Finnish company came here in the early 1990s when Guyana was struggling with widespread power outages because of a number of aging engines.It established the first Government-owned plant at Garden of Eden, East Bank Demerara and since then, the country has installed at least 18 engines in the Demerara area.The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) also has Wartsila engines at the Skeldon factory and there are more at Anna Regina, Essequibo coast.According to a senior Government official, Wartsila has the contract to manage those 18 engines which all belong to GPL.Under the arrangements, GPL would provide the fuel for the engines while Wartsila through its local subsidiary, Demerara Power Limited, conducts the maintenance.Demerara Power has around 100 staff members currently.It is being paid hundreds of millions of dollars annually to maintain and manage the Wartsila engines.Under new arrangements, a company owned jointly by GPL and the Government of Guyana, will be established to manage the Wartsila engines.It is the plan for the new company to take over the staffers of Demerara Power and for them to continue maintaining the engines, the Government official said.It is likely that the staffers will be rehired under the same conditions that Wartsila enjoys.GPL is facing major challenges to keep up with a growing demand for power especially on the coastlands.With some of the Wartsila engines almost 20 years old, a new 26-megawatts power plant at Vreed-en-Hoop, West Bank Demerara, commissioned last year, was expected to allow GPL some leg room with the extra megawatts.However, a critical submarine fibre optic cable across the Demerara River has been damaged leaving an interlinked East Demerara and Berbice grid without the extra power.The cable is not expected to be operational until next month,Cheap Jerseys Online, leaving both Demerara and Berbice consumers facing increased outages in recent times.GPL itself has been examining a number of initiatives to bring down its costs.One of the areas GPL is tightening up on is electricity theft; another is commercial losses. Almost a third of the power produced is lost to both.Last year, GPL commissioned new high-powered transmission lines on the coastlands along with seven sub-stations and submarine fibre optic cables across the Demerara and Berbice River.A new contract that will see low and medium voltage power lines along the coastlands alongside smart meters capable of allowing GPL to narrow specific losses to a specific area, is expected to be awarded shortly.Wärtsilä is described as a global leader in advanced technologies and complete lifecycle solutions for the marine and energy markets.In 2015, Wärtsilä’s net sales totalled EUR 5 billion with approximately 18,800 employees. The company has operations in over 200 locations in more than 70 countries around the world.It specialises in building ship engines.Guyana is said to be one of its biggest customers for power plants in the region.作者: xuejun5bx0 時間: 2018-9-19 13:01 標題: Naiset Cg Kensington Parka CG55 2855Belstaff XL500 Replica JackorBelstaff Gangst
d glanced over the fair slope of the countryside, with the gleaming sea beyond it, and the purple outline of the Isle of Wight upon the horizon; when it would be borne in upon me that the Being who created all this, and who gave man the power of pouring out these beautiful thoughts, was not the possession of one sect or another, or of this nation or that, but was the kindly Father of every one Moncler Kengät of the little children whom He had let loose on this fair playground. It grieved me then, and it grieves me now, that a man of such sincerity and lofty purpose as your great grandfather should have been so tied down by iron doctrines, and should imagine his Creator to be so niggard of His mercy as to withhold it from nine-and-ninety in the hundred. Well, a man is as he is trained, and if my father bore a narrow mind upon his broad shoulders, he has at least the credit that he was ready to do and to suffer all things for what Ralph Lauren Strip Polo he conceived to be the truth. If you, my dears, Naiset Cg Snow Parka have more enlightened views, take heed that they bring you Moncler Takit Miehet to lead a more enlightened life.
When I was fourteen years of age, a Canada Goose Freestyle Väst yellow-haired, brown-faced lad, I was packed off to a small private school at Petersfield, and there I remained for a year, returning home for the last Saturday in each month. I took with me only a scanty outfit of schoolbooks, with Lilly’s ‘Latin Grammar,’ and Rosse’s ‘View of all the Religions in the World from the Creation down to our own Times,’ which was shoved into my hands by my good mother as a parting present. With this small stock of letters I might have fared badly, had it not happened that my master, Mr. Thomas Chillingfoot, had himself a good library, and took a pleasure in lending his books to any of his scholars who showed a desire to improve themselves. Under this good old man’s care I not only picked up some smattering of Latin and Greek, but Canada Goose Lodge Down Hoody Jackor I found means to read good English translations of many of the classics, and to acquire a knowledge of the history of my own and other Piumini Moncler Uomo countries. I was rapidly growing in mind as well as in body, when my school career was cut short by no less an event than my summary and ignominious Naiset Cg Whistler Parka expulsion. How this unlooked-for ending to my studies came about I must now set before you.
Petersfield had always been a great stronghold Canada Goose Tremblant Jackor of the Church, having hardly a Nonconformist within its bounds. The reason of this was that most of the house Belstaff Triumph Jackor property was owned by zealous Churchmen, who refused to allow any one who differed from the Established Church to settle there. The Canada Goose Barn/Bebis Vicar, whose name was Pinfold, possessed in this manner great power in the town, and as he was a man with a high inflamed countenance and a pompous manner, he inspired no little awe among the quiet inhabitants. I can see him now with his beaked nose, his rounded waistcoat, and his bandy legs, which looked as if they had given way beneath the load of learning which they were compelled to carry. Walking slowly with right hand stiffly extended, tapping the pavement at every step with his Belstaff Jackor metal-headed stick, he links:
-catchin’ i’ your feyther’s barn.”
Yap, feeling the withering influence of this scorn, tucked his tail in and shrank close to Tom’s leg, who felt a little hurt for him, but had not the superhuman courage to seem behindhand Ralph Lauren Vest Sweaters with Bob in contempt for a dog who made so poor a figure.
“No, no,” he said, “Yap’s no good at sport. I’ll have regular good dogs for rats and everything, when I’ve done school.”
“Hev ferrets, Measter Tom,” said Bob, eagerly — “them white ferrets wi’ pink eyes; Lors, you might catch your own rots, an’ you might put a rot Ralph Lauren Vest Sweaters in a cage wi’ a ferret, an’ see ’em fight, you might. That’s what I’d do, I know, an’ it ‘ud be better fun a’most nor seein’ two chaps fight — if it wasn’t them chaps as sold cakes an’ oranges at the Fair, as the things flew out o’ their baskets, an’ some o’ the cakes was smashed — But they tasted just as good,” added Bob, by way of note or addendum, after a moment’s pause.
“But, I say, Bob,” said Tom, in a tone of deliberation, “ferrets are nasty biting things — they’ll bite a fellow without being set on.”
“Lors! why that’s the beauty on ’em. If a chap lays hold o’ your ferret, he won’t be long before he hollows out a good un, he won’t.”
At this moment a striking incident Ralph Lauren Sweaters made the boys Män Vattentät jackor pause suddenly in their walk. It was the plunging of some small body in the water from among the neighboring bulrushes; if it was not a water-rat, Bob Piumini Moncler Donna intimated that he Moncler Liivi Miehet was ready to undergo the most unpleasant consequences.
“Hoigh! Yap — hoigh! there he is,” said Tom, clapping his hands, as the little black snout made its arrowy course to the opposite bank. “Seize him, lad! seize him!”
Yap agitated his ears and wrinkled his brows, but declined to plunge, trying whether barking would not answer the purpose just as well.
“Ugh! you coward!” said Tom, and kicked him over, Naiset Cg Camp Hoody feeling humiliated as a sportsman to possess so poor-spirited an animal. Bob abstained from remark and passed on, choosing, however, to Canada Goose Montebello Parka walk in the shallow edge of the overflowing river by way of change.
“He’s none so full now, the Floss isn’t,” said Bob, as he kicked the water up Män Barbour Lifestyle Jackor before him, with an agreeable sense of being insolent to it. “Why, last ‘ear, the meadows was all one sheet o’ water, they was.”
“Ay, but,” said Tom, whose mind was prone to see an opposition between statements that were really accordant — “but there was a big flood once, when the Round Pool was made. I know there was, ‘cause father says so. And Belstaff Triumph Jackor the sheep and cows all drowned, and the boats went all over the fields ever such a way.”
“I don’t care about a flood comin’,” said Bob; “I don’t mind Belstaff Staple Jackor the water, no more nor the land. I’d swim, I would.”
“Ah, but Naiset Softshell if you got nothing to eat for ever so long?” said Tom, his imagination becoming quite active under the stimulus of that dread. “When I’m a man, I shall make a boat with a wooden house on the top of it, like Noalinks:
