Title:
Senegal - 120 MW Malicounda Dual Fuel Power Project
Detail:
The present intervention concerns the 120 MW Malicounda Dual Fuel Power Project. It aims to contribute to adding 120MW guaranteed generation capacity to accompany the GoS in its transformational industry goal and to align with the fast growing economy. The project entails the design, financing, construction and operation of a dual-fuel combined cycle power plant in Malicounda, Mbour, about 67 km from Dakar, Senegal. It consists of a greenfield power plant with a PPA guaranteed to be developed under a 20-year Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) scheme with Senelec, the state-owned utility. The plant will utilize heavy-fuel oil (HFO) as primary source of energy, and will be converted to natural gas as soon as it is available in the country. The plant will be connected to the grid through the existing 225kV substation adjacent to the site. The project will also contribute to the improvement of electricity access to the surrounding communities and villages through the medium voltage transmission line to be connected to the substation.
