On Wednesday, March 30, 2016, the Public Utilities Commission held a public hearing on the Operating Standards and Performance Targets (OSPTs) of the Guyana Power & Light Inc. (GPL). These hearings are conducted on an annual basis and are required by the laws governing the supply of electricity to be done by the end of March each year — to determine whether the GPL has met the Standards and Targets set for the previous year.

3. Meter readings — percentage of actual readings.
4. Issuance of bills — the number of days it took to bill customers.
5. Number of days it took to receive payments from customers.
6. Number of days it took GPL to pay its creditors.
