The technology group Wartsila has signed a 10-year Guaranteed Asset Performance agreement with Malicounda Power SAS of Senegal. The contract covers the 130MW Malicounda Melec power plant located in Mbour, south of Senegal’s capital Dakar.
The long-term service agreement targets the further strengthening of Malicounda Power’s position as a power producer for Senegal’s grid. The signing took place in February 2022, and Wartsila will start to recognise order intake once the plant has been commissioned and is in operation.
The Wartsila Flexicycle power plant will operate with seven Wartsila 50 engines. It combines the advantages of a flexible simple cycle operation with the outstanding efficiency of a combined cycle plant. The agreement will provide operational reliability with scheduled maintenance and spare parts, as well as heat rate and power output guarantees after major overhauls.
