ContourGlobal Cap des Biches thermal power plant project, Senegal
Name and Location
ContourGlobal Cap des Biches thermal power plant project, Senegal.
Client
ContourGlobal.
Project Description
The project involves the rehabilitation of an existing brownfield site and construction of a new 53 MW thermal facility under a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA). The new facility will be designed to burn heavy fuel oil and natural gas.
ContourGlobal will install Wärtsilä 18V46 high-efficiency engines, a technology that has been used by ContourGlobal in Togo and Rwanda. The engines will be coupled with a steam-turbine technology known as flexicycle to increase the generation capacity, thereby further reducing the cost of electricity.
On completion, it will be the lowest-cost liquid fuel and natural-gas-fired power plant in Senegal.
Value
€85-million.
Duration
Completion is expected in 2015.
