Cameroon: Energy Supply in Kribi Gas-Fired Power Plant Begins in March

At least 99 per cent of work at the Kribi Gas-fired Power Plant (KPDC) has been executed, making it ready for energy supply. The plant which was supposed to have started functioning by initial start date by end of February, 2013 was delayed. The National Hydrocarbons Corporation, SNH, announces gas supply for the plant at the end of February 2013. However, a new date of operation has been set. Following a recent Presidential instruction, SNH will supply the required natural gas by February 28 for effective energy supply by the plant beginning last week of March, 2013.

This information was disclosed during an official visit to project site in Kribi, South Region, by the Energy and Water Resources Minister Dr. Basile Atangana Kouna yesterday January 10. The visit was in line with this instruction and efforts to meet the energy needs of consumers which is said to be rapidly increasing and to prevent energy rationing as we enter more severe periods of the dry season when water level is already dropping in the Sanaga drainage basin.
