Project Description

The proposed project, to be developed by Contour Global Cap des Biches (the Company), involves the design, construction and operation of a 53 MW Heavy-Fuel Oil fired combined cycle thermal power plant located in Rufisque (23 km east of Dakar) in Senegal. The project consists of three 16.5 MW combustion engines equipped with a 3.5 MW combined cycle / heat recovery system and a short transmission line of approximately 500 meters in length connecting the power plant to an existing adjacent substation.
The Project entails the creation of a newly created Senegalese company, ContourGlobal Cap des Biches, which is wholly-owned by ContourGlobal, a global developer and operator of power generation projects.
