U.K.-based distributed power provider Clarke Energy is supplying GE 616 diesel engines to Flour Mills of Nigeria plc.
The Flour Mills project will include five of GE’s 616 units, delivering up to 12.5 MW of electrical power, enough to power 33 000 Nigerian homes. Two of the units will be used at the Kano facility in northern Nigeria, where natural gas access is limited and older, less-efficient diesel units have been used in order to maintain power for production. GE said the engines will deliver 5 MW of base-load electrical power.
GE said its 616 diesel engine is based upon the Jenbacher Type 6 reciprocating engine and GE Transportation’s P616 locomotive diesel engine.
The other three GE engines will be installed at Flour Mills’ facility in Apapa, Lagos, the same city in which Clarke Energy opened its first sub-Saharan Africa site nearly a decade ago, the company said. This site already features 11 of GE’s J620 gas engines, and the diesel units will provide backup power generation capacity in the event of maintenance on the site’s existing power generation equipment or in the event of a gas supply failure.
