APR Energy Commissions New Botswana Project, Senegal
Expansion
APR Energy (LSE: APR) or ("The Company"), a global leader in
fast-track power solutions, today announces that it has completed
successfully the installation and commissioning of its new
two-year, 35MW project for Botswana Power Corporation and the 48MW
expansion of its existing project for Senelec, Senegal's national
electric utility.
"I want to congratulate our installation and commissioning teams
for demonstrating our commitment to operational excellence and
customer satisfaction by quickly bringing this new capacity on
line," said Chief Executive Officer Laurence Anderson. "These vital
projects will help to raise the quality of life for people in
Botswana and Senegal in a number of ways, such as supporting local
medical facilities and schools."
The Botswana project, announced on 27 May, builds on a
relationship that began in 2010, when BPC contracted APR Energy to
develop a 70MW solution to supplement electricity being imported
from neighbouring countries. While that plant later was sold to the
utility in 2014, BPC again selected APR Energy when it needed
additional generating capacity.
"Botswana is currently faced with electrical power supply
challenges, and load shedding is the order of the day as a result.
This additional 35MW will go a long way toward alleviating the
situation," said Franklin Modisenyane, BPC's Expansion Project
Chairperson. "APR demonstrated a high level of professionalism.
Quality is key and safety standards are held high. Working with a
dedicated project manager made it possible to deliver the project
on time."
In Senegal, the addition of 48MW of new generating capacity
includes diesel power modules redeployed from Libya. The expansion,
which was announced 9 July, increases the Company's installed
capacity for Senelec to 68MW.
The Company currently is contracted to provide approximately
300MW of generating capacity across Africa, including projects for
electric utilities in Angola and Mali and to support development of
a major industrial facility in Egypt.
