The Western Africa is not developed as the Southern Africa, but it is perhaps that that has<br />

more desire to develop itself. In this optics numerous projects are anticipated and many<br />

alternative technologies are in study. The most important projects are the followings: [A09]<br />

• U.S.-based firms Enron and Abacan are negotiating with the government of Benin to<br />

develop, construct and operate an 80-MW power generation facility.<br />

• Cote d'Ivoire’s CIPREL (Compagnie Ivoirienne de Production d'Electricité) project<br />

was one of the first IPP projects undertaken in sub-Saharan Africa. The plant, which<br />

is gas fired with a generating capacity of 210 MW, is a joint-development of the<br />

French firms EDF and Saur - Bouygues (SAUR). EDF and SAUR are the joint-<br />

owners of the Compagnie Electricité Ivoirienne (CIE), the former state utility, which<br />

was privatised in 1990.<br />

• The Cinergy consortium has won a 23-year BOOT concession to build a thermal<br />

power plant at Azito outside of Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire Cinergy's plan calls for a $223-<br />

million, 420-MW gas-fired facility. The first phase of the Azito power plant was<br />

inaugurated on January 23, 1999. A second 144-MW gas turbine is scheduled to<br />

begin operations in January 2000. A steam-powered turbine will be added to boost<br />

the facility's capacity to the planned 420 MW. Cinergy is composed of the Swiss-<br />

based Asea Brown Boveri (ABB), Industrial Promotion Services (IPS) and EDF.<br />

• Ghana has plans for an additional hydroelectric facility to be located on the Black<br />

Volta River at Bui. The facility will have a generating capacity of 400 MW and<br />

possibly provide power exports to Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire and Mali.
