Self-sufficient power at lower cost for cement producer

SOCOCIM Industries produces three million tonnes of cement a year, which supplies Senegal, as well as the majority of West Africa. It relied on the national grid, and had also invested in its own power station, to ensure totally reliable and autonomous power.

However, when natural gas became available, SOCOCIM Industries saw the opportunity to save some of its fuel costs and called Aggreko to come up with a plan.
