Aggreko signed contracts with Electricité de Guinée (EDG) to deliver a 50-MW temporary power package to help alleviate power shortages currently affecting Guinea’s capital city of Conakry.
The Aggreko installation will bring much needed additional capacity to the local grid and will ensure a more robust and reliable power supply is delivered to the commercial heart of the country in order to help keep business and industry up and running and keep the lights on in the city.
“We are happy to be assisting EDG, the national utility of Guinea in this important project,” commented Christophe Jacquin, MD, Aggreko North and West Africa. “By delivering this large-scale, fast-track power solution, we are helping to provide a more consistent and reliable power supply to the people of Conakry while EDG work on addressing the issues facing the power infrastructure,”
“The Aggreko power plant will provide us with the time and space needed to address the power supply issues affecting the capital,” commented Nava Touré, MD, Electricité de Guinée. “Their proven track record in providing similar power solutions across Africa gives us the confidence that they are the right partner for this vital project.”
