US-based global energy company ContourGlobal has entered into a long-term service agreement with Finland-based global energy and marine technology and lifecycle solutions group Wärtsilä for the former’s Cap des Biches power plant in Dakar, Senegal. Although Wärtsilä booked this contract in March, it only publicised it on Monday. Cap des Biches power plant was inaugurated in 2016 and uses five Wärtsilä 46 internal combustion engines, plus a combined cycle heat recovery system. It was implemented in two phases, the first involving the installation of three of the generating units and the heat recovery system (this being the configuration when the plant was inaugurated), and the second seeing the addition of the other two units.
