Backup energy storage system to support Gas-to-Energy project arrives

Georgetown, Guyana. June 13, 2025 – LNDCH4 Guyana is pleased to announce the arrival of the Backup Battery Storage System (BESS), which landed at the John Fernandes wharf today. The BESS forms a critical part of the power plant’s emergency support system and is engineered to ensure uninterrupted energy delivery in the event of turbine failure. 

The inclusion of this advanced battery system reinforces LNDCH4’s commitment to delivering a reliable power solution for Guyana. With a total capacity of 30 megawatts (MW), the system was shipped in twenty-two (22) containers which comprises of battery racks, six (6) inverters, auxiliary transformers and a fully integrated Power Distribution Center (PDC) shelter. It also includes an Energy Management System (EMS), Battery Management System (BMS), Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), Fire suppression system and HVAC units to ensure optimal performance and safety under all conditions. 

Designed to respond instantaneously, the BESS provides critical backup power to protect the integrity of the electrical grid and maintain operational stability in unexpected scenarios. This latest delivery joins the growing list of critical components already received for the project, including two state-of-the-art gas turbines, each capable of generating 45 MW of electricity.
