Mozambique saw its new power plant in Ressano Garcia come onstream. The 100-MW plant includes 13, 20-cylinder gas-based Rolls-Royce engines, which have the capacity to generate a total of 120 MW. The medium speed engines are of type B35:40V20AG2, supplied by Bergen Engines, a Rolls-Royce Power Systems subsidiary. This is the biggest medium speed power plant powered by Rolls-Royce.
The plant is owned and operated by independent power producer Gigawatt Mozambique, and will supply electrical power to the national grid through a power purchase agreement with the state-owned utility, Electricidade de Mozambique (EDM).
In addition to the core engines, Rolls-Royce has supplied engine accessories and support including technical assistance with the construction of the power plant. A 15-year long-term service agreement (LTSA) has been signed with the TSK/EEN Joint Venture company, which will operate and maintain the 100-MW power plant. The LTSA covers training of operating and maintenance staff, supervision of major maintenance, spare parts supply and technical support.
