Guyanas president Bharrat Jagdeo says with the rising fuel and energy prices his government will ensure the Amelia Falls hydro-power project becomes a reality. According to the Government Informational Agency, the Guyanese leader while addressing residents in Berbice at the weekend said before he leaves office he wants to ensure that he builds the hydro-electric power facility, estimated to cost in the vicinity of US$450 million. On May 7, when he announced additional measures to cushion the impact of rising food and other prices, Jagdeo had noted that Guyana has a very high consumption of fuel per capita.
