Wärtsilä Oyj Abp Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 21 July 2008
Wärtsilä will supply a 100 MW power plant to Togo to produce electricity for the national grid. The power plant will comprise six Wärtsilä 50DF engines designed for tri-fuel capability. The turn-key contract was awarded in June by the energy supplier ContourGlobal Togo SA.
"We have enjoyed extremely good co-operation with ContourGlobal in developing this project. The tri-fuel capability of the engines was a key factor in being awarded the contract, in addition to the fact that the Wärtsilä 50DF engine offers high output, low emission rates, first class efficiency, and excellent reliability," says Tony van Velzen, Regional Director for Africa, Wärtsilä Power Plants.
When operational, the plant will significantly diversify Togo's power generation portfolio and will supplement the country's hydroelectric power during the dry season. The electricity investment is the largest in Togo's history and it will double the country's generating capacity.
