man energy increases power generation capacity by 30 in burkina faso africa

AN Energy Solutions is supplying three MAN 18V51/60TS engines for a power plant extension in Burkina Faso. Located in Kossodo – a suburb of the capital city, Ouagadougou – the extension will feed a total of 55 megawatts (MW) of electrical power into the national grid, thus increasing the country's generation capacity by almost 20%. The plant is owned by the national energy supplier, SONABEL, with local company Tecmon BF acting as main contractor. At present, only 30% of Burkina Faso’s population has access to electrical energy. The government now wants to change this and is planning to significantly increase generation capacity
