Two temporary natural gas power plants have been installed and commissioned in just 21 days in Cameroon.
Altaaqa Global’s temporary natural gas power plants, with a joint capacity of 50 MW, recently inaugurated at the Logbaba power plant site in Douala, Cameroon.
The ceremony was attended by Dr Atangana Kouna Basile, Minister of Water Resources and Energy of Cameroon; members of the government; and senior executives from Eneo Cameroon S.A., the country’s integrated utility company, and Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Victoria Oil & Gas (VOG).
Altaaqa Global provided the power generation equipment, and took the responsibility of importing and installing the generators at the Logbaba and Ndokoti (Bassa) sites, while GDC supplied the gas to the rental gas power stations at both the sites.
Peter den Boogert, CEO of Altaaqa Global, said, “We are very proud to have been involved in this project, and to have collaborated with Cameroon’s government, Eneo and GDC. Altaaqa Global is greatly honoured to have contributed to Cameroon’s national energy strategy and to have had the chance to promote the greater good of the Cameroonian nation.
“The success of this project proves that through the synergy among entities that put service and integrity above themselves, anything can be achieved. Here, we have witnessed that the sum of all of us is greater than each of us.”
