Siemens and Rotan Power signed a MoU to develop and build a combined cycle power plant with a capacity of 660 MW at the Aboadze Power Enclave located in Ghana’s western region.
The plant will be the most efficient and environmentally friendly thermal plant, setting new standards in sub-Saharan Africa. It will be built in two phases, with commercial operations of the first phase scheduled for 2023 and the second phase scheduled for 2025.
The German Export Credit Agency and Euler Hermes are set to provide financing for the project, which would be the largest plant in Ghana.
Siemens is responsible for the entire EPC turnkey scope. In addition, Siemens will provide operation and maintenance service for 20 years.
