The Challenge
Deliver stable power and lower the total cost of energy
Utility company Jirama powers Madagascar and has a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with our customer, fuel supplier Jovena.
The island’s power comes from a mix of diesel, Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) and hydro power stations, but summer droughts hampered hydro generation and their other plants were ageing and not as efficient as might be hoped. Jovena needed to provide the island with reliable, uninterrupted power and if it could be generated with a reduced overall cost of energy, all the better.
We felt sure we had the answer to address all those needs in a reliable, efficient and cost effective way.
We knew our mobile, modular HFO power plant would tick a number of boxes, and we could get it up and running quicker and cheaper than building permanent power infrastructure.
