“Supported by our state-of-the-art technology and services, this power plant will be the most efficient natural gas-fired power plant in Ivory Coast and the West Africa region at large. It will help reduce the region’s carbon footprint from power generation and support the host country in its efforts to become a regional energy hub,” explained Amin.
“Since the signing of the concession with Ivorian authorities back in December 2018, the Pan-African Industrial group Eranove, which is in charge of the design, financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of this plant, carried out by ATINKOU – is very proud to bring together partners like Siemens Energy and TSK,” said Marc Albérola, CEO of Eranove.
