Background

The Atinkou power station, also known as the Ciprel V power plant, is under construction in the Lagunes region of the Ivory Coast.[10] The project is being developed by Atinkou with an estimated investment of approximately £ 352 million (US $450 million).[10]

This power station is equipped with a Siemens SGT-4000F turbine, capable of burning up to 30% Hydrogen as part of its mix of fuels.[10]The project is estimated to generate up to 2875 GWh of electricity annually to power approximately one million homes.[10] The plant is part of the government's aims to triple power production to 6,600 MW by 2030, mostly using IPPs.[11] The plant consists of a 255 MW gas turbine and a 135 MW condensing steam turbine.[12]

In September 2016, the Government of Ivory Coast signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Eranove to execute the financing, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the power plant.[10]  

In December 2018, a 20-year concession agreement was signed. The notice to proceed with the site works for the project was issued in December 2020, with the commissioning expected by late 2022.[10]

Financing

The International Finance Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank Group signed an agreement with the State of Côte d'Ivoire to fund £263.95 million (US $337.70 million) for the power project in March 2020. The project will also be funded by African Development Bank (AfDB), the German Cooperation Bank (DEG), Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund (EAIF), Netherlands Development Finance Corporation (FMO), and the OPEC Fund for International Development.[10] EAIF will contribute approximately £31.35m (US $40.12 million) as part of the loan required for the project.[10]
