Oil-fired power plant opens in Senegal

摘要

THE 70 MW Tobene independent power plant has been inaugurated in Taiba Ndiaye, 90 km north-east of Dakar, the Senegalese capital. It is operating as a heavy fuel oil-fired plant and can be converted to a gas-fired plant, and is expected to provide electricity for up to 1.5 mn people, which comprises about 10 per cent of the Senegalese population.
