for full access to stabroeknews.com Only one active session is allowed per subscriber The Guyana Power and Light (GPL) and APAN Energy – the company that supplied 18 used generators from Honduras in 2023  – are currently in legal discussions as the utility company wants to leverage  liquidated damages for late delivery of the engines  “The matter is being reviewed by external counsel London House Chambers  at the request of GPL with instructions to claim liquidated damages and compensation for any breach of contract established London House Chambers have already made contact with APAN’s counsel  in pursuance thereof,” Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC told the Sunday Stabroek when asked for an update During his end of year press conference last week President Irfaan Ali had informed that he and his Cabinet have said to GPL that once this country pays for a service and delivery and it was not met He had said that Nandlall was charged with overseeing the process and that action had already commenced All the issues surrounding what happened are being dealt by the AG The deal to acquire used generators from Honduras to ease power woes in the approach to Christmas 2023 had been heavily criticised The Attorney General gave an overview leading up to the stalemate between the two sides over payment  “APAN was contracted to install a 28.9MW HFO Power Generation Plant at Columbia Mahaicony consisting of 17 generators pursuant to a Turnkey Engineering Procurement and Construction Agreement dated July 27 Unfortunately the contractor stated that they were unable to meet the contractual time-frame stipulated because of circumstances over which they had no control including delay in shipping as a result of industrial unrest that affected operations in the Panama Canal,” he said “Sixteen of the seventeen  generators have been installed and are operational An additional generator is scheduled to come on stream shortly and this will meet the full complement of the contracted generational capacity The process of a transition from LFO (Light Fuel Oil) to HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) is ongoing and the contractor has undertaken that this process will be completed by the end of March 2025,” he added  Acting Chief Executive Officer of GPL Kesh Nandlall (the brother of the Attorney General)  also told this newspaper that the company was contracted to deliver HFO gensets and had brought in LFO ones which it said would be retrofitted to HFO but that process took longer than the contracted delivery time  He said that the generators were all functional but the issue was the timeframe for delivery Amid constant blackouts caused by increased electricity consumption and a generator being out for maintenance GPL procured 17 reconditioned containerized generators from Honduras in 2023 saying it was preparing to ensure continuous power for the 2023 Christmas holiday season GPL had to seek more generating help via two power ships  Minister within the Ministry of Public Works at a press conference in November had said that the cause of the then  load shedding was due to heightened demand and the 7.8-megawatt engine that was taken off for maintenance at the Kingston location because we have pulled down that 7.8-megawatt engine at Kingston to do the general overall it has taken off our reliable capacity by 7.8 megawatts,” the minister disclosed in terms of all of the engines that we have either at Garden of Eden together we have the reliable operating capacity of 167 megawatts we see the peak now reducing,” Indar had told reporters at the press conference  The generators from Honduras had experienced several shipping delays They were first expected here on November 22nd    and then December 5th before finally arriving on December 13th 2023  The Columbia station is in the Mahaicony area and the generators feed into the Demerara/Berbice Inter-connected System (DBIS) there had been no word that the company and GPL had been in any legal tussle as at April of this year Prime Minister Mark Phillips had said that 17 of the 18 were installed It was unclear if that meant they were functional A FREE roundup of top news from Guyana you

strips off shipping containers and badly damaging goods inside The incident occurred as Iran held a third round of nuclear talks with the United States in Oman Fires kept breaking out in different parts of the affected area as of Sunday night with helicopters and fire fighters continuing efforts to extinguish them Chemicals at the port were suspected to have fuelled the explosion but the exact cause was not clear and Iran’s Defence Ministry denied international media reports that the blast may be linked to the mishandling of solid fuel used for missiles A spokesperson for the ministry told state TV the reports were “aligned with enemy psyops” saying that the blast-hit area did not contain any military cargo The Associated Press cited British security firm Ambrey as saying the port in March had received sodium perchlorate which is used to propel ballistic missiles and whose mishandling could have led to the explosion The Financial Times newspaper reported in January the shipment of two Iranian vessels from China containing enough of the ingredient to propel as many as 260 mid-range missiles helping Tehran to replenish its stocks following its direct missile attacks on its arch-foe Israel in 2024 Plumes of black smoke rose above the site on Sunday and pieces of twisted metal and debris lay scattered across the blast site the head of Iran’s Red Crescent Society told state media the fire was 90% extinguished and officials said port activities had resumed in unaffected parts of Shahid Rajaee A spokesperson for the country’s crisis management organisation appeared on Saturday to blame the explosion on poor storage of chemicals in containers at Shahid Rajaee adding that earlier warnings had highlighted potential safety risks Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani cautioned against “premature speculation” saying final assessments would be shared after investigations Negligence has often been blamed in a series of deadly incidents that have hit Iranian energy and industrial infrastructure in recent years “Did we really have to hold the container here for 3-4 months… until we had 120-140 thousand containers stored in this place?” Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said after arriving in Bandar Abbas on Sunday Incidents in the country have included refinery fires and an emergency repair incident at Bandar Abbas that killed one worker in 2023 Iran has blamed some other incidents on Israel which has carried out attacks on Iranian soil targeting Iran’s nuclear programme in recent years and last year bombed the country’s air defences

Privacy Report Project Concern Report Scam Contact Us The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) was among many pro-Palestine organisations around the world that responded positively to the news of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas It said on January 16 it welcomed the “long-overdue” ceasefire announcement in Gaza as “a glimmer of hope” But it warned that Israel must not be allowed to “use this ceasefire as a cover to regroup and continue its genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people” APAN President Nasser Mashni said: “A ceasefire is not justice — it is a fleeting reprieve that will never undo the profound pain caused by Israel’s genocide “The ceasefire must not be a smokescreen for complacency Australia must rise to this moment by cutting all military ties with Israel imposing sanctions and holding Israeli officials and entities accountable in international courts “To remain silent in the face of this brutality is to stand on the wrong side of history It’s time for Australia to stand for justice Mashni paid tribute to the resilience of Gazans and all Palestinians saying it is “not just a story of survival but a call to the world to end its complicity” APAN called on the Australian government and the international community to ensure this ceasefire is not “merely a temporary pause in Israel’s genocidal violence” “Australia must commit to addressing the root causes of Israel’s genocide illegal occupation and apartheid in Palestine sanctions and mechanisms to ensure accountability and liberation for Palestine a ceasefire will be little more than a bandage over an open wound.” APAN said the strength and determination of Gazans and all Palestinians “have served as profound reminders of the power of truth the depth of human courage and solidarity and the urgent need for justice and liberation” Even as the ceasefire was being announced supposed to come into effect on January 19 Israel has intensified its bombing of Gaza City “The actions of the Israeli government during the past 15 months including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s relentless attempts to sabotage multiple ceasefire proposals — including a ceasefire proposal containing the same terms of this one — reveal a deliberate strategy to sustain genocide and apartheid under the guise of ‘security’ and ‘self-defence’.” APAN said such strategies are “unacceptable” arguing that a ceasefire “must be the beginning of global action to end Israel’s genocidal war” It is demanding that Labor either implement or support: The South African Boycott, Divestment and Sanction Coalition (SA BDS Coalition) said it “joins with the people of Gaza in the hope that this will provide respite from over 15 months of the genocidal Israeli regime’s terror against the Palestinian people” said on January 15 that the “steadfastness of the people of Gaza represent one of the most astonishing examples of collective courage in history” The SA BDS Coalition also said the “genocide could not have occurred without the political and military support provided by the United States the US has provided more than US$26 billion in armaments to Israel “This is [US President Joe] Biden’s legacy — he has blood on his hands.” Israel’s “unparalleled impunity is what has allowed it to maintain its 76-year-old regime of settler-colonialism and apartheid and emboldened it to unleash the world’s first live streamed genocide” Most nations today see Israel as a rogue genocidal state that openly defies international law.” It said a ceasefire “is only the most important first step” to end the genocide it may constitute a continuation of a less visible form of genocide that Israel and the US will hope to provoke less global outrage SA BDS Coalition said without serious accountability Israel’s mass extermination “experiment” in Gaza “will be a model for an unprecedented might-makes-right era where powerful colonial states can ‘dispose of’ weaker nations and racialised communities everywhere” we need effective international solidarity to ensure accountability.” Green Left is funded by contributions from readers and supporters Make a One-off Donation or choose from one of our Monthly Donation

something "kind and childlike" as a nod to renowned toy manufacturer BRIO which was based in Osby for over 100 years and runs a popular toy museum in town.  While some locals found the colossal animal duo comical and jokingly called it Sweden's modern answer to the Easter Island statues others thought the large sculptures ruined the scenic lakefront and that they should be moved to a playground instead.  the artwork was eventually set on fire one summer night in 2013 the monkey figure was reduced to ashes and the rabbit figure was scorched thanks to local businesses and the Municipality of
