The Government of Guyana has announced a 25 percent reduction in electricity tariffs for the mining town of Bartica, located in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni). This decision is part of a commitment made by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) during the 2025 elections campaign.
President Dr. Irfaan Ali made the announcement on Monday, emphasizing the government’s intention to improve the cost of living for residents in Bartica. The reduction in electricity rates is expected to provide financial relief to both households and businesses in the area.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy by the government to enhance energy affordability and accessibility for citizens. The implementation details and timeline for the tariff reduction have not yet been disclosed.
The move is anticipated to have a positive impact on the local economy, particularly in a town that relies heavily on mining and related industries. The government aims to ensure that residents benefit from lower utility costs while continuing to support economic growth in the region.
Further information regarding the rollout of the new rates is expected to be communicated to the public in the coming weeks.
