70 MW Power Contract Awarded to APR Energy in Botswana
Gaborone, BOTSWANA - APR Energy (APR) and the Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) have signed a contract for the supply of a 70MW/ 11kV power solution. APR competed against several other global temporary power providers and was ultimately awarded the contract after a lengthy evaluation process.
The power project will be located approximately 30 kilometers outside of Francistown, in eastern Botswana. The diesel power module generating sets that will make up the power plant are to be installed, operated and maintained by APR Energy. The Francistown power project will be operated during peak periods to ensure a reliable and secure supply of electricity to consumers as well as industrial customers within Botswana. Power will be delivered from the plant to the regional primary power grid serving Botswana and Southern Africa.
According to the BPC, the national electrical utility of Botswana, the additional 70MW of power was requested to counteract “electricity shortages driven by demand growth and supply constraints in the Southern Africa region”. This power plant is an interim solution until the existing BPC-owned capacity is increased either through upgrades or new plants coming online.
APR’s Francistown power project will be largest temporary power solution of its kind to be implemented within the infrastructure of the Southern African Power Pool.
