The Guyana Government has issued a preliminary call for investors to participate in two major energy projects under its Gas-to-Energy initiative at Wales, West Bank Demerara — a cooking gas bottling plant and a fertiliser facility.
Through the Office of the Prime Minister, which has oversight for the energy sector, the Government is inviting Preliminary Expressions of Interest for the Guyana Ammonia and Urea Plant Inc. (GAUP) and the Guyana Gas Bottling and Logistics Company Inc. (GGBLC), both of which will utilise natural gas brought onshore via the Gas-to-Energy Phase Two Project.
The GAUP, pegged at US$300 million, is targeting individual investments of up to US$5 million, while the GGBLC, estimated at US$40 million, has a per-investor cap of up to US$1 million, though interested parties may indicate higher amounts. Investors in both projects can assume a government-guaranteed annual return of 10%, and neither entity will be publicly traded.
The Government noted that while all investors are welcome, preference will be given to Guyanese investors, including those in the diaspora.
The call follows the Government’s receipt of 10 proposals each for the construction of both facilities. Evaluation teams are currently being assembled to review those proposals and shortlist bidders.
Officials clarified that the current invitation is a preliminary Expression of Interest only, and that based on the response received, the Government will structure appropriate investment details and issue a formal call.
Submissions must be sent to the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) by the deadline of May 15, 2026.
