Proposal • 210-260 Mega Watt (MW) Combined

Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Power Plant

• 800-1200 MW Hydro-Electric Power Plant • To help the Republic of Guinea (Guinea)

meet the fast-growing demand for

electricity and To foster socioeconomic

development and industrialization

throughout Conakry, the Basse-Cote’, Fouta

Djallon, Sahelian Haute-Guinea, and other

growing regions of the nation


Project • Rationale - DEMAND

• Increases in electricity

consumption are attributable

to the following:

• Population Growth

• Industrial Growth

• Cultural & Technological Change: currently,

only 2% of Guineans use electricity, the

remaining 98% use firewood and charcoal (only

1 out of 10 Guineans have access to the

hydroelectric power grid)

• The many power outages Guinea currently

experiences have resulted in major industrial

inefficiency and riots throughout the country


Project • Rationale - DEMAND

• January 2011 article from Reuters Africa:

“At least one killed in Guinea riots over power outage Mon Jan 16, 2012 6:53pm GMT CONAKRY Jan 16 (Reuters) - At least one person was killed during riots in a bauxite mining town in Guinea on Monday over power outages, witnesses said. They were protesting after repeated power outages in Kamsar, where the world's top exporter of bauxite CBG, operates a venture between Alcoa, Rio Tinto and the Guinean government, shipping around 13 million tonnes per...”


Project • HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER

• Studies show a

hydropower potential of

roughly 6,000 MW for

Guinea; currently, only

2% (9 hydroelectric

stations of the available

potential is being utilized • 4 major sites with a potential of 200-700 MW:

Amaria (665 MW), Souapiti (515 MW),

Koukoutamba (281 MW), and Kaleta (240 MW)

• 116 sites with a potential of 10-200 MW each

Guinea’s many rivers


Project • CCGT POWER PLANT:

LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) &

CRUDE OIL

• Sources of LNG & CRUDE

OIL recently discovered in

Guinea

• These recent discoveries

could greatly off-set the

current reliance of

800,000+ tons of imported

petroleum, crude oil, and

lubricants LNG Refinery


Project • Rationale: PORT OF CONAKRY

• Initiative to improve infrastructure of Conakry,

Guinea’s most economically viable city; to facilitate

the efficiency of Guinea’s expanding

importing/exporting industry


Project • Rationale: CONAKRY-KANKAN RAILWAY

RENOVATION • Vale, a Brazilian company, began the Conakry-

Kankan railway improvement project in 2010

• It is anticipated that the improvement of the

railway will bring about major socioeconomic

change and produce thousands of jobs, which

require additional infrastructural development

and an increase electricity usage


Project • MAJORITY FUNDING: CMEC

• CMEC will fund 90% of the construction of

the project (including the foundation work,

labor, groundwork, and procurement of

materials and machinery) if the following is

obtained:

• Feasibilty study

• Sovereign guarantee

• Remaining 10% initial

funding from investors


Project • START-UP FUNDS: INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT

• US$224 million from World Bank, Global Environmental

Facility (GEF), and International Development Association

(IDA) with concentrated support in the following projects:

community development, rural infrastructure, education, transport, electricity, Health/HIV/AIDS, water basin

management, and rural electrification


Project • START-UP FUNDS: INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT

• US$4.5 million from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) to

fund a Guinea Electricity Sector Efficiency Improvement

Project, co-financed by an International Development

Association (IDA) to improve the commercial and operational efficiency of the electricity sector and reduce

carbon dioxide emissions created by energy losses

• GEF funding will:

• co-finance distribution, network upgrading, and training,

• design energy efficiency and demand side

management programs, and pilot initiatives (efficient

light bulbs, energy audits), and • other technical assistance to Electricité de Guinée

(EDG)


Project • Technology – Combined Cycle Gas Turbine

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D406Liwm1Jc

• Siemens V94.2 heavy-duty gas turbine plant ready for

relocation from Asia; gas turbine capacity of 105 MW;

• The station’s auxiliary voltage is 6 kV and it can receive its incoming power either through back-feed from the grid or

a separate station transformer depending on the

requirement and grid connection. It is of single-shaft, single

casing design, equipped with 2 silo-type combustion chambers, a 16-stage compressor and a 4-stage turbine

• An air-cooled generator, rated at 125 MVA and

generating at 10.5 kV is driven from the cold (compressor)

end of the GT unit. The unit is currently installed with dual fuel Siemens diffusion-type burners, capable of operation

on distillate-oil liquid and natural gas

Project • Technology – Combined Cycle Gas Turbine


Project • Technology – Hydro-Electric

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEL7yc8R42k (cut to 58 seconds) • A pressure tunnel is taken off from the reservoir and water

is brought to the valve house at the start of penstock

• The valve house contains the main sluice valves and automatic isolating valves (controls the water flow to the

power house and cuts off the water supply when the

penstock bursts)

• From the valve house, water is taken to water turbine through a huge steel pipe known as penstock

• The water turbine converts hydraulic energy into

mechanical energy, and the turbine drives the alternator

which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
