This is in line with Senegal’s Gas-to-Power strategy, which aims to increase the country’s energy independence, reduce the cost of electricity, and provide universal access to electricity. The development of the new facility will also assist the country’s efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 23 per cent by 2030.
Clive Turton, Chief Investment Officer of ACWA Power, said: “ACWA Power will bring its long-standing experience as a leading developer of power generation facilities to create utility infrastructure essential to Senegal’s future capacity requirements.”
