Port of Kribi: five companies in the running to build a gas-fired power plant



(Business in Cameroon) - Five companies have been prequalified for the installation of a gas-fired thermal power plant in the port enclosure, we learn from a press release signed by Patrice Melom, the managing director of the Autonomous Port of Kribi ( PAK), located in southern Cameroon. These are, in order of merit, the Tecmon/Telemenia group; from Britain's Aggreko; the Wartsila/Africa Finance Corporation consortium; British Globeleq and Ghanaian BXC Company.

On observation, most of these candidates are already operating on certain energy projects in Cameroon and in particular in Kribi. " The managers of the said companies will be contacted in due course for the rest of the procedure ", writes the DG of the Port of Kribi.

Currently, the Port of Kribi is served by a 30 Kv line connecting it to the Southern Interconnected Network. The supply of electricity through this means covers the needs generated mainly by the first port and logistics activities which developed from the official commercial opening of the said port in March 2018.

However, indicates the PAK, by 2024, this available power will prove to be very insufficient with regard to the projected needs considering the installation of the industrial projects announced in the industrial-port zone. Consequently, the PAK considers that it is essential, in the short term, to acquire a reliable and autonomous power supply solution capable of meeting the needs of its current and future lessees.

To do this, the PAK plans to set up a natural gas thermal power plant in the port for which it is responsible, with an initial capacity of between 50 MW and 80 MW, which can be extended. Which will be financed, built and operated by a partner with the required expertise and technical and financial capacities. The PAK undertakes to acquire a certain quantity of energy, at an agreed price, before distributing it to the occupants of the industrial-port zone. The power plant will be supplied with natural gas by the National Hydrocarbons Company (SNH).
