Sunday Brief: Georgetown Flood, Karpowership Extension & The Streets That Used To Be Ours

Sunday, March 29, 2026 | Guyana Daily Brief

Georgetown Goes Underwater (Again)

Almost 24 hours of continuous heavy rain on Saturday left Georgetown streets severely flooded, with citizens reporting health concerns and general inconvenience across multiple communities. Minister Manickchand toured affected areas on the East Bank. The drains did not tour themselves, but we appreciate the effort.

The Powerships Are Not Going Anywhere

Guyana is set to extend its contract with Karpowership — the Turkish company renting two powerships to the country at a daily rate — because the Wales Gas-to-Energy project is delayed. Again. The AFC has been sounding alarm about the ballooning cost of the Wales project and the government’s continued silence on how much it has actually cost so far. GPL launched a “Solar Express Lane” this week to help customers integrate solar faster. One lane going in, one lane going further into Karpowership’s pocket.
