Why was the Brazilian hydropower proposal for the period 2006-09 not considered by the government?

Dear Editor,

Prime Minister, Mr Samuel Hinds, responding to my question in Parliament regarding whether or not the Government of Guyana had received any proposal from any company or group of companies, other than Synergy, to construct hydropower facilities in Guyana during the period 2006 to 2009 stated that the government had received two such proposals: one from RUSAL and the other from Dynamic Engineering Inc.

The Prime Minister forgot or omitted to mention the TRIUNFO group out of Brazil, whom he had recommended to the President by way of a letter dated August 11, 2008. This group proposed to develop hydropower sites totalling more than 2000 MW for an aluminium smelter in Guyana and electricity sales to Brazil. This company had Electrobras – willing to import electricity; Voltarantin – interested in establishing a smelter and possible bauxite and alumina operations; BNDES – Brazilian development bank; and GE-Capital – a financing company with which TRIUNFO had already a working relationship on other projects. The estimated investment was estimated to be in the vicinity of US$8 billion.

Since this short piece may have refreshed the PM’s memory, the public awaits an explanation from the PM as to why this possibility was not considered. Please note no money had to be raised by the Government of Guyana.
Yours faithfully,

Everall Franklin MP

Nota del editor del blog: Al referenciarse a la República Cooperativa de Guyana se deben de tener en cuenta los 159.500Km2, de territorios ubicados al oeste del río Esequibo conocidos con el nombre de Guayana Esequiba o Zona en Reclamación sujetos al Acuerdo de Ginebra del 17 de febrero de 1966.

Territorios estos sobre los cuales el gobierno Venezolano en representación de la Nación venezolana se reservo sus derechos sobre los territorios de la Guayana Esequiba en su nota del 26 de mayo de 1966 al reconocerse al nuevo Estado de Guyana .

“...por lo tanto, Venezuela reconoce como territorio del nuevo Estado, el que se sitúa al este de la margen derecha del río Esequibo y reitera ante la comunidad internacional, que se reserva expresamente sus derechos de soberanía territorial sobre la zona que se encuentra en la margen izquierda del precitado río; en consecuencia, el territorio de la Guayana Esequiba sobre el cual Venezuela se reserva expresamente sus derechos soberanos, limita al Este con el nuevo Estado de Guyana, a través de la línea del río Esequibo, tomando éste desde su nacimiento hasta su desembocadura en el Océano Atlántico...”
