- About
- The Hinterland Electrification company Inc. (HECI) has its genesis in the Project Execution Unit (PEU) of the Office of the Prime Minister, Guyana. The PEU was established in 2004 to manage the implementation of the Government of Guyana (GoG)/InterAmerican Development Bank (IDB) sponsored Unserved Areas Electrification Programme (UAEP). The main objectives of the UEAP were (i) to expand existing coastal electricity grids to unserved areas within a feasible distance from the grids, and (ii) to examine ways in which hinterland areas could be provided with electricity in the most cost effective and sustainable manner. With regard to the latter, the PEU implemented several demonstration electricity projects in hinterland communities to test their viability for possible replication in other communities.
