Works to rectify faults at the Mabaruma Solar Farm in Region One (Barima/Waini) are currently being undertaken as the Ministry of Public Infrastructure aims to have it up and running by the end of this month, de facto Minister David Patterson says.

Speaking to Stabroek News last week, Patterson explained that a contractor is currently executing works on the $227 million solar power farm, which has been under construction for at least three years.

“We have had some deliberate vandalism during the political season [elections] but the parts are here now and the contractor is on the ground working,” Patterson informed Stabroek News.
