The expertise group Wärtsilä will provide an 18 MW extension to the ability producing facility and improve the electrical and automation system of the prevailing power plant at the Sabodala-Massawa gold mine complicated in Senegal, West Africa.
The mine is owned by Endeavour Mining, a quantity one global gold producer. The upgrading and extension project will allow for the complete integration of all of the site’s power generating capacity, while guaranteeing the supply of the needed electric energy to maintain and increase the mine’s manufacturing schedules
he order with Wärtsilä was positioned by Sabodala Gold Operations and it has been booked in Wärtsilä’s order consumption in Q3 2022. The project might be delivered beneath an entire engineering, procurement and development (EPC) contract.
Sabodala-Massawa mine is the largest producing gold mine in Senegal and is positioned in the eastern a half of the nation in the Kedougou region. Endeavour’s deliberate mine enlargement will remodel Sabodala-Massawa right into a top-tier gold asset with incremental production.
“Wärtsilä has a depth of expertise in delivering energy solutions for mining operations all over the world. Not being related to the grid implies that the captive plant has to be capable of offering a reliable provide of electricity at all times, since no power equals no manufacturing. The Wärtsilä 32 engines chosen for this expansion project have established a powerful reputation for top effectivity and reliability beneath even the most troublesome ambient circumstances, eliminating revenue losses from power shortages,” mentioned Marc Thiriet, Energy Business Director, Africa West, Wärtsilä.

Their gasoline efficiency minimises the environmental influence by lowering harmful CO2 emissions. In addition to their excellent performance, they’ve the flexibility to help a clean transition to the mixing of solar energy and energy storage into the system. The improve of the electrical and automation system will optimise the interconnection and control for the present energy plant with the extension.
The project is expected to be accomplished and commissioned before the end of 2023.
Wärtsilä is Senegal’s main provider of power generating equipment, and already has 543 MW of installed capacity in altogether 20 power plants in the nation. 458 MW of this capability is under Wärtsilä long-term service agreements.
