The Kribi power facility is the first power plant to run on natural gas consisting of two main components.
The first consists of the development, construction and operation of a new 216MW natural gas-fired power plant near the Mpolongwe village.
The second component includes the development and construction of a new 100km, 225kV double-circuit transmission line including substations and transformers.
Delivered on the public-private partnership basis, the project is expected to be operational by late 2012 or early 2013.
