evidence: The factory is located in Skeldon, which is a small town in eastern coastal Guyana (within the East Berbice-Corentyne Region), on the estuary of the Courantyne River, which forms Guyana's border with Suriname. The project involved the addition of a more efficient cogeneration plant to the ongoing Skeldon Sugar Modernization Project (SSMP) – a modern sugar factory that manufactures Very High Pol (VHP) raw sugar. The cogeneration plant generates bagasse-based electricity for internal use in the factory and for sale to the Berbice regional grid, which was designed to displace the use of light fuel oil in diesel engine-driven generators operated by the Guyana Power and Light Company. CNTIC Trading Co., Ltd. was the EPC contractor responsible for project implementation. The first loan disbursement was received in March 2005. Construction began in September 2005. CNTIC Trading Co., Ltd. handed over a diesel engine for the project in December 2007. Then, in March 2009, the factory began operations. A formal project completion ceremony took place on August 22, 2009. The Defects Notification Period (Warranty) expired in October 2009 for the punt dumpers and in March 2010 for the remainder of the plant.
