Gas power plant
Ciprel Expansion Project Abstract
The Gas Power Plant of Ciprel is located in Vridi, on the edge of lagoon, in the town of Port-Bouet. The project consists in: (i) the expansion of the existing Ciprel natural gas-fired power plant in Côte d’Ivoire by adding 111MW steam cycle capacity to 2 x 111MW open cycle gas turbines, converting them into a combined cycle operation, and (ii) the retrofitting of two gas turbines to Dry Low NOx technology for NOx emissions reduction. The Project, expected to enhance the efficiency of the power plant by generating 25.5% more power without the use of any additional gas, has been be developed, designed, constructed and operated under a 24-year Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (“BOOT”) arrangement. The Project will sell its power to the Government of Côte d’Ivoire (GoCI) through Compagnie Ivoirienne d’Electricité (“CIE”), the private transmission and distribution company.
