On the Mbei river, about 85km east of the Gabonese capital of Libreville, plans are well advanced for a 34MW ârun-of-the-riverâ hydroelectric plant.
Unlike bigger hydroelectric stations that depend on a dam, Kinguele Aval will have a modest reservoir that should, at least in theory, minimise environmental destruction.
It is expected to generate enough electricity for one in six residents of Libreville, a city of about 700,000 people
The $205m plant will be owned by a joint venture between Gabonâs sovereign wealth fund and Meridiam Infrastructure Africa Fund â a French investor that has 14 projects on the continent, including a biomass plant in Ivory Coast, a geothermal station in Ethiopia and a port in Nouakchott, Mauritania.
CAPE TOWN,
(CAJ News) – THE upcoming Africa Energy Indaba will introduce attendees to some of the most influential figures in the sector.
Energy experts will assemble at this prestigious sectoral event to analyse and debate pressing topics pertinent to Africa’s energy sphere.
Panel experts will delve into discussions that extensively address specific concerns relevant to their fields of professionalism and knowledge.
Rentia van Tonder from Standard Bank will steer dialogues related to investing in and funding energy supply in emerging African economies.
This is a crucial topic in Africa’s energy realm.
In light of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s State of the Nation Address regarding amending electricity to raise the licence-exemption cap for distributed generation projects in South Africa, decentralised energy supply and mini-grids are considered significantly appropriate themes to unpack at this point in time.
