Background
The plant is part of Senegal’s goal to increase its electrification rate to 100 percent by 2025 while lowering electricity generation costs by reducing its dependence on imported liquid fuels and increasing electricity access to rural areas. Senegal aims to shift primarily to natural gas for its power production by 2035.[6]In August 2019, Karpowership signed an LNG to Power contract with Senegal’s Electricity Authority (SENELEC) to deploy a Powership of 235 MW for a period of 5.5 years. Karadeniz Powership Ayşegül Sultan started operation in October 2019, in Dakar.[7] In October 2019, the plant began supplying 15% of Senegal's electricity with 220 MW of power to Senegal's grid.[8]In October 2021, The Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB) is facilitating Senegal’s transition to LNG for its electricity production through its US $60 million participation in Karpowership operations. The project finance facility enables Turkey’s floating power plant, Karpowership to operate its 235 MW Powership.[6]
