GE supplies turbines, generators to Senegal power plant

GE will supply gas power generation equipment for West Africa Energy’s 300 MW combined-cycle power plant in Cap des Biches, Dakar, Senegal. Upon completion, the Cap des Biches plant will be the largest plant in the country. The plant is expected to begin operations in phases starting in 2022.

GE will supply two 9E.03 gas turbines, one STF-A200 steam turbine, three A39 generators, two Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) and additional balance of plant equipment.

Cap des Biches combined-cycle gas turbine power plant is being developed by Senegal’s West African Energy and will be built by Turkish engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company, Calik Enerji.
