  "account": "A new 1.5 megawatt portable generator is being installed at Bosai's Linden power house in Guyana, but the town's demand already exceeds its current generation capacity. Minister of Public Utilities and Aviation Deodat Indar confirmed the generator's arrival and installation is underway. The generator is part of a broader effort to boost electricity supply in Region 10, where Linden is located. However, it is a temporary fix rather than a permanent power station. Bosai has agreed to add 3 megawatts in total, but only one engine of the 1.5 megawatts each has been secured so far. Peak demand in Linden has already surpassed 15 megawatts, which is higher than the town's current generation capacity of 14.5 megawatts, according to LECI. As a result, the new generator helps to increase capacity but does not solve the shortfall. The town of Linden, a mining town in Region 10, relies on local generators as it is not connected to the national grid. The power house is critical to the town's electricity supply until it can join the national grid, which is planned for 2029.",
