A 390 MW power plant will be constructed in the town of Jacqueville near Abidjan, in Côte d’Ivoire. The Atinkou power plant will be similar to the one developed by Ciprel, a subsidiary of the Eranove Group.
Atinkou, also known as Ciprel 5 in reference to the four units of this power plant, operated since 1994. It will use the gas-steam ‘combined cycle’ technology which increases energy efficiency.
In addition, Atinkou will undertake a technological leap by introducing the first Class F gas turbines in Sub-Saharan Africa. These innovations will allow the production of more electricity without additional gas consumption.
A concession agreement for the financing, design, construction, operation and maintenance of a new power plant has been signed between Cote d’ Ivoire and Eranove Group.
