Barloworld Power expects the St Helena Island’s diesel generator power station improvement project to be fully completed by April, following the installation of the final generator and facility handover in February. 

The power company was awarded a R49-million contract in 2011 to supply and commission four new Cat generating sets, new medium-voltage switchgear, a modernised supervisory control and data acquisition and control system, new cable works, a fuel system, bulk tanks and all ancillary systems to support the new engines.

The first Cat unit was delivered to site in August last year and, by the end of November, the installed generator was commissioned and running, allowing the new power station to come on-line on November 30.

The remote power station would now be supported by Barloworld Power’s Cape Town-based team.
