In 1969, the Government of Guyana re-commissioned the station where the power was transmitted to serve the Guyana National Service Camps at Tumatumari and Konowaruk. The development included an embankment dam, a concrete overflow dam, and a 2-unit powerhouse with an installed capacity of 1500 kW using (2 X 750 kW Francis turbines).
The hydropower plant will add additional capacity to the grid to meet the town’s growing demand which currently ranges from 2 MW to 3 MW. The following is a summary of 67 potential hydropower sites in Guyana. The following is a list of hydropower studies available at the resource centre of the Guyana Energy Agency.

The project will provide electricity from an indigenous and renewable energy source to serve the demand of Lethem and its environs. This project forms a complementary suite of planned energy initiatives in the town, consisting of a hydropower plant and a solar PV farm. Kumu Hydropower Station
Under the Unserved Areas Electrification Programme, the Hinterland Electrification component, Government of Guyana is currently seeking funding to conduct a feasibility study for the Kato site which has a potential of 3 MW. Below is a map depicting the location of potential hydropower sites in Guyana.
The potential power to be produced is intended for export from Guyana to Brazil and in the future as a Phase 2 project to Trinidad & Tobago. An MOU was signed in February 2007 with Guyana Goldfields Inc. for a period of two years to conduct a feasibility study.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
