Sambangalou dam in Senegal
- A project to generate renewable energy, improve irrigation and
supply drinking water
- A €388 million contract
- 1,000 people recruited locally
The consortium* led by VINCI Construction signed
a contract with the Gambia River Basin Development Organisation
(which involves The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau and Senegal) to
build the Sambangalou dam located in the south-east of Senegal,
close to the Guinean border. The €388 million contract follows
on from an initial phase conducting studies and preparatory work,
which took place over a period of 18 months.
The 91 m high dam will have a capacity of
128 MW, generating renewable energy, improving irrigation of farm
land and supplying drinking water for surrounding districts. The
work will begin in the first half of 2021 and is scheduled to last
48 months. At its peak, the project will employ 1,000 people
recruited and trained locally.
Moreover, once the project has been delivered,
the drinking water treatment station set up for the project will be
remain in operation. The worksite buildings will be donated to
schools. Furthermore, engineers from the consortium will be
involved in classes at the Kédougou technical high school.
The electricity generated by the dam will be
injected into the grid of the four countries of the Gambia River
Basin Development Organisation, where VINCI Energies is installing
several hundred kilometres of high voltage lines.
The new contract is testament to the Group’s
expertise in hydroelectric infrastructure and renewable energies to
boost sustainable regional development.
