APR Energy Increases its Strong Presence in the African Power Market New 250MW Contract in Libya is historically one of the largest of its kind TRIPOLI, Libya – APR Energy recently announced that it has signed the largest contract in APR Energy history and historically one of the largest interim power projects with a public utility. The contract, signed with the national utility of Libya will provide for a full turnkey 250MW power plant. The fast-track solution, featuring mobile turbines will help to provide interim power while the country repairs and builds its infrastructure as well as cover anticipated power demand during the critical summer season.
“We are truly honoured to serve as a partner to Libya as it rebuilds and develops its new economy. This project is ground breaking for the country in terms of both scale and scope,” said APR Energy Chief Executive Officer, John Campion. “The Libya contract, together with our two recent wins, totalling 300MW in Uruguay, aligns with APR Energy’s strategy to focus on large-scale power projects. We strongly believe that mobile dual-fuel turbines are the best fit and the customer technology of choice.”
The Libya contract will be the eighth major project that APR Energy has completed in Africa, and is the latest in a series of projects using dual-fuel turbines as a fuel-flexible and efficient solution for its customer.
APR Energy’s contracted solution in Libya will comprise four sites, stretching from the northern to the southern end of the country, to meet the electricity needs on a regional level.
