Power Africa Financially Closed Transaction in Côte d’Ivoire

Azito Power Plant Phase III (Natural Gas – 130MW)

Financial Close Date: 04/06/2015
Commercial Operations Date: 06/30/2015
Estimated Project Cost: $N/A
Overview: The Azito Power Plant Expansion Project Phase III consisted of upgrading the existing Azito gas-fired power station from a simple cycle to a combined-cycle plant by the addition of two heat recovery steam generators, a steam turbine generator and one steam condenser with an associated closed loop, and an air-cooled cooling water system. The project improved the efficiency of the plant by recovering energy currently disposed of as heat in the turbine exhaust gases, and bringing the installed capacity of the Azito plant from 280-290 MW to 420 MW, an increase of 50%. With this upgrade, the plant’s efficiency, about 29.5% currently (Phases I and II) increased to about 44% (for the same gas consumption).  The project was the third phase in the construction of the Azito power generation facility, with two earlier phases completed in 1999 and 2000.
