ENGIE: PROVIDING POWER AND INFRASTRUCTURE
SUPPORT FOR SENEGAL
ENGIE has been selected for the Dakar TER project in Senegal in partnership with Thales for the key design and production of infrastructures and systems, with a contract worth around €225 million.
ENGIE is also behind a development project which will initially reach 11,000 households in Dakar and its suburbs. This will be focused on photovoltaic solar panels for the production of electricity and solar water-heaters for the production of hot water.
In partnership with ANER, ENGIE will look in financing solutions for the equipment to facilitate this new deployment. ENGIE will also commit to market energy performance contracts (EPC) to industrial operators and the tertiary sector in large urban communities in Senegal.
The ENGIE Group is currently nvolved in the Senergy project, a 30 MW photovoltaic power station in the town of Santiou Mekhé, scheduled for commissioning in late 2017.
The Dakar Express Regional Rail (TER) project involves providing power for the construction of a 57km standard-gauge line from the city centre to the new Blaise Diagne Inter- national Airport (AIBD) near Ndiass. This will largely follow the western section of the existing Dakar - Diourbel metre-gauge line, which will be upgraded as part of the project.
The initial 36km section between Dakar and Diamniadio will take 26 months to complete. Design studies and preliminary works are now under- way and commissioning is scheduled for late 2018. The remainder of the line to AIBD will take 15 months to construct.
The Senegalese Agency for Invest- ment Promotion and Public Works (Apix) awarded a French consortium
of Engie and Thales €225m contract to design and build infrastructure and systems for the project earlier this year. The €500m civil works contract has been awarded to a consortium of CSE, Sengal; Yapi Merkezi, Turkey; and Eiffage, France.
The line will be designed for 160km/h operation with 25kV ac electrification and GSM-R. The journey time between the two terminus stations will be 46 minutes and the line will serve 12 intermediate stations, which will be equipped with Wi-Fi, real-time passenger information systems and CCTV. Daily ridership is forecast to be around 115,000 passengers.
TER services will be operated by a fleet of 15 Alstom Coradia Polyvalent dual-mode multiple units. Each 72m- long four-car train will accommodate up to 400 passengers in first and second class. The trains will be assembled at Alstom's Reichshoffen plant and production will begin next year.
