Temporary power and temperature control giant Aggreko has won a contract in Cte d'Ivoire to provide short-term power supply.
The 10MW gas-fuelled temporary power contract, which will run for two years, is in addition to the 100MW the company installed in 2010. It is worth an estimated $75m and was awarded by the Socit des Energies de Cte d'Ivoire (CI-ENERGIES).
The firm said that the contract will reinforce the power supply in Cote d'Ivoire and fulfil the country's needs before the construction of permanent capacity.
