For many years, Guyana has been one of the world’s leading countries on rainforest protection and maintains 85% of its forest cover. The rate of deforestation in Guyana is only 0,05%.
Thanks to the low deforestation rates of Guyana, a partnership agreement between Guyana, Norway and the Inter-American Development Bank has been signed on this year’s World Rainforest day (22nd of June).
The Guyana Utility Scale Solar Photovoltaic Program (GUYSOL) will invest in 8 large-scale solar energy projects that will be funded by NICFI. While these projects will bring clean energy to 27.000 households in Guyana, around 70.000 people will be benefiting.
