The Company's contract extension in Iraq is for a one-year term, and runs through
2016. The power plant has been in operation since 2012 and
comprises six GE TM2500 mobile gas turbines. APR Energy acquired
the plant in 2013 as part of its acquisition of GE's power rental
business. Located in Basra, in the southernmost part of the
country, the gas-fired power plant provides reliable base load
power and grid stability to the population of the Basra province,
as well as supporting oil and gas, petrochemical and agricultural
industries.
In Angola, Africa's third-largest economy, the Company
has signed a six-month contract extension to provide 40MW of power
at the Rocha Pinto site near Angola's capital of Luanda. As part of the extension, the customer
has reaffirmed its commitment to fulfil all past, present and
future financial obligations. When initially signed in 2013, the
contract with Angola's state-owned
utility Rede Nacional de Transporte represented APR Energy's first
mobile gas turbine project in sub-Saharan Africa. APR Energy also
operates a second 40MW facility at the Morro Bento site near
Luanda.
"We are pleased to continue our relationships with these
important long-term customers," said Chief Executive Officer
Laurence Anderson. "Extensions and
renewals are an important part of our business strategy, and they
are the result of our strong commitment to operational excellence
and customer service."
