Côte d’Ivoire: Aggreko adds 100MW at Vridi

Aggreko has doubled the capacity of its power plant in Abidjan with the addition of a second 100MW of generating capacity, bringing the total to 200MW. The Aggreko power plant in the Vridi area has been in operation since 2010, when the first 70MW was installed. This was increased by 30MW in 2011. Load shedding is presently limited to peak demand periods, but this is mostly due to transmission and distribution network constraints.
