Siemens Energy has signed an agreement with Spanish EPC contractor TSK to provide the company’s highly efficient energy technology and services to Atinkou (formerly known as Ciprel V), a new combined cycle power plant to be built in Jacqueville, Côte d'Ivoire.
Owned by ATINKOU SA, a subsidiary of Eranove, the power plant will have an installed capacity of 390MW in combined cycle and introduces the first F-class gas turbine in Sub-Saharan Africa. The plant is scheduled to begin operations in late 2022.
Siemens Energy’s scope of supply includes one SGT5-4000F gas turbine and one SST5-3000 steam turbine, each along with a generator, condenser and an SPPA-T3000 control system. Additionally, a comprehensive 12 year long-term service agreement (LTSA) has been signed between the end customer ATINKOU SA and Siemens Energy.
The SGT5-4000F gas turbine provides high performance, low power generation costs, long intervals between inspections, and a service-friendly design. Optimised flow and cooling add up to high gas turbine efficiency and economical power generation in combined cycle applications.
In March 2020, Siemens was awarded a contract from the same EPC, TSK, to deliver an SGT-800 gas turbine, generator and other key components for Eranove’s 65MW combined cycle Kékéli efficient power plant project in Lomé, the capital city of Togo in West Africa.
